Cthulhu Gonfalon Chapter 19:
The underworld is always a gloomy, black sky, a dark ground, and the air is still filled with disturbing mist. r?a??nw?en??????????`??? Not to mention the living, even the undead who have died here will feel uneasy and panic all day long.
Fortunately, this situation will not last. The underworld will be windy every time. The mighty wind sweeps around, blowing the undead into flight, like confetti and fallen leaves, drifting in the wind, eventually Falling into the Styx River, flowing along the Styx River, to the destination and starting point of all souls, that is called the Sea of Souls, the holy land that the gods yearn for but are not allowed to approach.
Of course, in the process of going to the Soul Sea, the complete soul will be washed away by the Styx, gradually collapsed, and scattered into countless souls-that is the basic unit of the soul. In this process, all the past and past events of this soul will completely dissipate, even it itself will dissipate. In the future, these souls will form new souls with other souls and start a new life.
Sui Xiong floated on the side of the Styx River, watching the souls swept by the yin wind and falling into the Styx. They originally had various expressions on their faces, but not long after they fell into the Styx, all the expressions gradually returned to calm and turned into serene colors.
It is said that the souls in Styx are asleep, and can never wake up.
Based on Sui Xiong’s ability, it’s not difficult to fish a few souls from Styx. He also has this idea—the souls that enter the Styx are almost unowned, and whoever has the ability to fish it will count. of. As for bringing it back to cultivate a believer? It's all my own business to transform into a divine envoy. As long as you don't do something that hurts the world, no one will bother.
For example, there was a conflict with Sui Xiong at the beginning, and then with the help of Vie, he made peace with him and gave him the dark night **** system of soul transformation technology. They often ran into the Styx to salvage the soul. Go back and transform into a believer.
No way, what ghosts, vampires, necromancers are all in the Dark Night Gods... It's really not easy for them to collect believers seriously. On the contrary, it is much more efficient to artificial believers by means of transforming the soul.
Many minor gods, as well as gods who have not started missions on the main plane, will choose similar approaches. Even the kind gods are not opposed to it. In any case, it is better to become a believer and live in the kingdom of God, or to be transformed into an envoy, than to become a spiritual son and rejoin the sea of souls.
Sui Xiong watched carefully, but after watching for a long time, he couldn't find even a soul worthy of his efforts to fish out of the Styx.
His requirements are very high. If the soul is not good enough, he would rather not shoot.
The church like him has a deity of sufficient scale, and there is no shortage of believer souls.
After a while, he finally found a good soul. The strength of the soul was very high. Although it had fallen into the Styx, it still maintained a relatively complete self, and did not sink into peace like a normal soul. Sleeping and then began to disintegrate, which is the best material to transform into a divine envoy.
With a wave of the tentacles, it turned into a thin strip of silk like a fishing line, and gently dived into the Styx. It immediately engulfed the soul and hooked it out of the Styx.
"The intensity is really not low." As soon as this soul got his hands, Sui Xiong was sure that his observation was indeed correct, and it was completely worth the effort to fish. So he quickly input some divine power into this soul, let it stabilize, and then put it away for the time being.
Because there is something to do now.
"Hello, it’s been a long time." He said hello to the figure who appeared abruptly in front of him, wearing a black robe and carrying a sickle. Sui Xiong first said a digression, "I have always There is a question, your dress is similar to those of hell's ecstatic messengers, do they follow you or do you follow them?"
The person who came is naturally the highest **** on the face of the underworld, the **** of death.
Reaper obviously did not expect Sui Xiong to come to the underworld specially, and after releasing the news of inviting him to meet, the opening remark turned out to be such a question. After a while, he replied: "I have a cooperation agreement with the **** side, so They lent some power. The attire of the **** messenger is exactly the ritual necessary to borrow part of my power."
The answer was not beyond Sui Xiong’s expectations, so he couldn’t help asking: “Then would you like to sign a cooperation agreement with me? If there is a messenger from the underworld in court, I believe it can Greatly enhance our country’s deterrent against criminals."
The **** of death nodded: "It's okay. I'm willing to cooperate with all gods who respect the principle of life and death-but you came to me for this little thing?"
Sui Xiong smiled, hesitated for a moment, and said what he really came for.
"I don't approve." After listening to his narration, the **** of death replied bluntly, "Those lords have lived long enough and shouldn't live longer. You occasionally help one or two of them, I have no objection . But if you want to help them continue their lives on a large scale, this won’t work."
Sui Xiong's answer did not surprise Sui Xiong. In fact, he almost guessed that it would be such an answer. For the **** of death, apart from maintaining the principle of life and death, other things are not important—good, evil, order or chaos, it makes no difference to him.
The gods intervene a little bit in the life and death of mortals, which is acceptable to the gods of death. But if you want to interfere on a large scale, it is beyond the limit that He can tolerate.
Of course, everything can be discussed, but Sui Xiong can't come up with an exchange that can satisfy the **** of death. He is not a big-faced cat, and he does not intend to fight the **** of death for this little thing~IndoMTL. com~ so I had to forget it.
He sighed with regret, and was about to leave, when the **** of death suddenly asked: "Why do you want to help those lords continue their lives?"
"In exchange for them to assist me in preaching." Sui Xiong replied.
"There are many conditions that can be exchanged, why use the most difficult and most valuable exchange?"
Sui Xiong was stunned.
He didn't really think about it.
For mortals, life renewal is naturally a major event, and almost everything can be exchanged for this. But... just as the **** of death said, as a powerful deity, he can do many, many things. Why do you want to exchange life with those lords?
"And... in my impression, aren't you promoting the republic?" Death continued, "That means you should be opposed to the family lord inheritance system. Since you are opposed to this, why do you want to help those generals? As a personal property, how about the nobles who passed on and inherited the power of rule from generation to generation?"
Sui Xiong's eyes widened, and he was even more shocked.
On the one hand, he was pointed out the blind spots in his thinking, and on the other hand, he was surprised that the **** of death actually cared so much about human affairs.
"You... why would you study these?" he couldn't help asking.
"Because of boring." Death answered calmly, "The underworld is too boring, I always find something to pass the time."
Because of boredom... Sui Xiong was speechless and was silent for a long time before asking: "Then what do you think, what should I do?"
"What should you do, why do you want to ask me?" Reaper asked, "You should decide what to do."
"Are there any suggestions?"
"I am the **** of death, don't ask me about living things." After speaking, the **** of death disappeared without a trace, leaving only Sui Xiong standing in the air, silently meditating. (To be continued.)
