Stray Chapter 86: Proclaimed God

It's getting harder and harder to breathe...

The blackness before my eyes...

The hands and feet that were pierced by the nails hurt so much that he couldn't speak, and his consciousness almost collapsed under some kind of shock...

Blood also kept dripping down from the cross, staining the entire land near St. George's Cathedral red. Maybe ordinary people can't imagine why there is so much blood in a normal-sized human body, but this is not the time to pay attention to science.

"It's really painful..."

Xia Ran's face was pale, and he lowered his head and muttered to himself, his current situation is very unoptimistic

His hands were nailed through the wrists, and his feet were also nailed. His whole body was nailed to the huge sacred cross. He couldn't move a finger, and the blood flowed continuously. It drips continuously on the huge cross.

And on the cross that looks like a light-quality structure, the **** smudges that were originally there were mixed with each other.

I can't even tell which blood is his and which are the light and shadow special effects of this spell...

Because in the realm of mystery, symbolism is always above everything else, the meaning of "piercing the flesh with metal" is used, and the "nail" used to fix the Son of God when he was crucified on the cross. Therefore, Xia Ran, who was suffering, found that she was really getting closer to death.

Cross, nails, and the instruments of torture for the Son of God, the spells performed based on these concepts and meanings also had the effect of judgment on him.

The emptiness is alive, and the ideal is immortal... He has clearly reached such an unreasonable level in terms of survivability, but now it has no effect at all. He is like an ordinary human being. After being fatally wounded, he quickly walked towards death.

The ability to stack up to the present level in a series of related abilities

Including a series of enhancements such as "The Third Magic Soul Materialization", "The Fruit of Life S2 Organ", etc., it has also derived a pure energy body, a body of elements, which repeatedly jumps in parallel worlds. The immortal body of the quantum state, and even the technique of changing reality at will.

However, at this moment, he seems to have lost all his strength and all his reliance.

The life force that was supposed to spring up indefinitely disappeared without a trace.

The state that could have been able to shuttle between possibilities like Schrödinger's cat at any time was also imprisoned from the source.

Just like the hands and feet that were pierced by nails, the strength was firmly imprisoned in the body, it seemed to have completely disappeared, and it could not be mobilized; it was like his wounds that would not heal automatically after being nailed, even There is no spontaneous response.

And the intense pain seems to penetrate from the body to the soul. With the continuous loss of blood, the magician also feels that his thinking is gradually weakening.

Not long ago, it was sublimated to an unimaginable level. It seems that the omnipotent thoughts that can penetrate the most ultimate mysteries of the universe are so difficult to operate at this moment, as if they are rusted with age. The old machine, the rotation has become abnormally stagnant.

That's right.

Just because a lot of blood dripped down from him, but did not cause any damage and erosion to the real world, it can be seen that the judgment technique of "Good Friday" is to limit his greatness And terrible power

Otherwise, the escaping blood can instantly wipe out the vitality of all living things in the UK, not only human beings, but also flowers, birds, insects, fish and even bacteria and microorganisms;

For another example, the dripping blood can directly bring the entire planet back to the Age of Gods, a world where the source is overflowing, the magic power is strong, and the mysterious darkness is enough to permeate the surrounding space, making it impossible for modern people to live at all;

For another example, or there will be no such fancy light pollution and various special effects at all, that is, the density of a drop of blood can be compared to a celestial body, and the moment it falls is a catastrophe that destroys the entire solar system...

At this time, the world seems to be quiet.

I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring in this direction, staring at the light and shadow of this huge blood-stained sacred cross.

Everyone is inevitably a little uneasy in their hearts, and even has a feeling of disbelief at the sudden calm at the moment, subconsciously feeling that all this is unreal, after all, the movement not long ago was too great.

Whether it's the tower of God's Gate that stands above the earth, or the ancient snake with seven heads and ten horns that only appears in the oldest mythological accounts, they are all broadcast live simultaneously around the world. , the sun and the moon have no light, people can't help but wonder if the end is coming?

Especially for the general public who do not know the inside story, it is a ruthless piercing and smashing of their worldview!

Being able to accept the concept of the existence of Academy City in this world, accepting the development of scientifically reasonable superpowers through science and technology, is already the most compromise of their simple materialistic worldview, or is it after decades of subtle changes , Chairman Aleister's unremitting efforts finally got this result.

As it is now, there is no foundation at all, and the situation where ancient myths and legends are directly smeared on their faces is really unfriendly to the heart.

There are many devout believers at this moment with tears in their eyes, loudly chanting hymns of praise to the Lord, kneeling and kissing the ground, how uncomfortable, angry and hysterical they were before, and how fanatical they are now, like a Chinese New Year , it was almost impossible to have the urge to set myself on fire on the spot to dedicate myself to the Lord.

When they saw the enemy of God gaining the upper hand, their eyes were split. They either cursed desperately, or prayed in grief, hoping that God would show his divine power as soon as possible and defeat the devil's arrogance. They couldn't bear it. Live that kind of blow.

Now I finally got what I wanted... After all, the rain has passed, the darkness is over, the morning star will come, and the brilliance of the huge cross is like the sun never sets, and the brilliance will always shine.

Although honestly, in this day and age, people who can still hold devout beliefs are still a very small minority. Even if the Roman Orthodox Church claims to have 2 billion believers, guess the pan-believers among them. Two billion or two billion?

The vast majority of people are extremely realistic, and their beliefs have long been eroded by various realistic factors. As believers of the Cross religion, it is more of a tradition and habit. To say how devout they are, How loyal is this matter, I'm afraid they don't believe it themselves.

But no matter what, it's not as convincing as the huge impact of the facts.

So at this moment, it is true that billions of believers suddenly realize that they have always had the lofty ideal of serving the country and the people in their hearts... ah, no, there has always been a pure and flawless, as if A child's devotion to faith.

Invariably, at this moment, I don't know how many Christian believers are singing in unison, and countless high-pitched hymns are sounding all over the world.

The target is...

Xia Ran being nailed to the cross.

This is also a matter of course. After all, people don't know what happened. Billions of believers are mortals. After all, mortals have limited eyesight, and it is absolutely impossible to overlook the whole situation and see the whole picture. So until now, they don't actually know what happened.

I only see God's creation, but not the end; I only see God's grace and love, but not God's glory and final victory; I only see that God has a plan at the beginning, and it has a long-term progress, but it has not reached the goal.

So that's it, they don't know where this mythical battle started and where it ends. From their point of view, the arrogant ancient snake suddenly disappeared, and all this happened after the blood-stained cross came down.

As for the more specific details...

Sorry, they can't see it at all, so naturally they don't know.

Therefore, people naturally have some kind of wonderful association, thinking that this is the Messiah coming, coming back as king, and finally winning, and the ancient serpent was finally defeated... So they burst into tears and sincerely went to that Scarlet crosses sent out their praises one after another, and even folded their hands together to pay homage.

Under their gaze, the Scarlet Cross, which was suspended above the earth and was larger than the land of the country, was shrinking little by little.

It seems to be slow, but it is very fast. After a short time, it has shrunk a large circle. You can even vaguely see the outline of a "person" nailed to it. Their beliefs suddenly became more fanatical. It is the Son of God, the most classic religious image of the Cross.

For a time, the ethereal and vast voices of prayers resounded from all over the world, across the mountains and the sea, across the starry sky and the earth, like invisible drops of stars gathered together.

"My bones are all rotten and broken, my heart is turned into wax stone, and my body is dissolved in it..."

My lips were already white, but Xia Ran, who was nailed to the cross, showed a relieved smile with difficulty. Her lips moved, and she whispered such a statement.

The words and spirits of Calvary.

It's just that nothing happened, and he didn't stop. He was still chanting in a slow and difficult voice, word by word, clearly articulated, but more and more out of breath and less in inhalation.

When the cross was shrunk to a size of more than ten meters and hovered steadily above the solemn and solemn St. George's Cathedral, the magician who was nailed to it had his head lowered, and there was no trace of breath anymore. And the heat...

He died.

“…”

“…”

Surrounding around St. George's Basilica are three thousand three hundred and thirty-three assembled monks, who have the most devout faith and the strongest will, from the day the new covenant came down , has always been prepared here.

Through the principle of the "Gregorian Choir", it was finally possible to complete the "Good Friday" judgment at the last moment of the day when the Holy War broke out.

The crowd was silent, looking with complicated eyes at the glorious cross above the Cathedral and the "man" who was crucified on it.

No one spoke. After a long while, a priest finally asked the Supreme Bishop who led them to turn the tide at a critical moment: "Archbishop, what should we do now? Put down this devil's body. ?"

Has fair skin, blue eyes, long blond hair that is almost 2.5 times her height, folded in half and fastened to the back of her head with silver hairpins, looks only about eighteen years old, wearing beige The girl in the monastic uniform shook her head calmly.

"The trial is not over."

"Archbishop?" The clergyman was slightly taken aback, as if he was a little puzzled as to why the Supreme Bishop said that.

““You who were far away from God, are now in the Son of God, and have been drawn near by his blood. For he is our reconciler, who united the two into one, and broke down the wall of division in the middle, And with his own body he abolished the feud, the ordinances written in the law...""

Lola is still very calm and said:

""In order to make the two into one new man through Himself, and thus reconciliation was accomplished. Having destroyed the enmity on the cross, through this cross the two were made one body and reconciled to God."

She looked around and raised her voice: "The Son of God was crucified by man, and man was forgiven his sins through the blood of the Son of God... The prophecy of the Book of Revelation has already begun, and we must make him like He was crucified like the Son of God, and through his blood he forgives the sins of man."

The surrounding crowd changed their expressions slightly.

As true mystical religious people, of course they understood the meaning of the Supreme Bishop at once.

It seems to be the case. The prophecy of the Book of Revelation has already begun because of this hateful devil. According to the prophecy in the Bible, after defeating the Antichrist, the final judgment will come, the end of the human world, and the religion of the Cross. the end of the system.

This is something that no one wants to see. Although according to the New Testament records, the number of souls to be judged in the final judgment is already determined, but because of this, it must not be triggered in advance.

The only solution, it seems that there is really only one way left. Just like killing the Antichrist by killing the Son of God through the judgment on Good Friday, it is also based on the principle that the blood of the Son of God can forgive Human sin, then...

Can the blood of this damned enemy of God also forgive sins?

At least it can stop the prophecy of the Apocalypse, and not let the end happen early?

"We still have a lot of things to do, so hurry up and prepare! As we arranged before, remember to guide the public opinion of the people and give believers confidence..." At this time, the Supreme Bishop took time to issue a message Road command.

Looking at her appearance, the monks around seemed to have found their backbone. After the upheaval they had just experienced, their hearts also settled down. After saluting, they turned around and left, each responsible for their own work. .

St. George's Basilica became quiet, and the surroundings became empty.

"Oh, I'm really embarrassed..."

Lola chuckled softly and took a few steps forward to look at the Cross of Light above the church and the "man" that was crucified on it.

After looking at it for a while, she didn't say anything, turned around and walked into the great sanctuary, but the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, revealing an elegant and pleasing smile.

She has done everything she can, and the rest is up to the other party.

……

……

Dark as hell.

Knowing that there is only darkness around her, Xia Ran accepts the fact that she is dead.

Time seems to have come to a standstill, floating on a sea of ​​no light and sound, and he has been falling downwards without end... no, maybe not falling at all.

Because here, there is nothing. There is no up and down, no concept of time and space, and naturally there is no meaning of falling down. It is not the so-called "infinite" state, because in order to have "infinity", it is necessary to define "finite", without the finite, the infinite will not exist.

This is a place where there is neither existence nor emptiness, neither increase nor decrease, neither birth nor death, neither true nor false, beyond all positive and negative concepts.

The "cause" of everything, where all phenomena begin, because everything is ready, so there is nothing.

He is very calm and content.

I observe something like time in this way, even though it doesn't even exist, but I can observe it. Although it is obviously meaningless, you can't see anything, or you can't realize it when you see it.

Because all meaning does not exist, "existence" is sufficient here.

"Only ignorance can approach the vortex of the root cause, so it can be considered either ignorant or omniscient, although that is meaningless..." I don't know how long it has been, with a gentle voice It sounded leisurely in the ear, as if breaking a pool of stagnant water, causing ripples of change, and Xia Ran's consciousness re-condensed.

He once again gained meaning and was able to think.

"Welcome to the first cause that only the dead can reach and the living cannot reach."

A tired but gentle voice sounded, and in the indescribable room, a woman in a pure white kimono quietly smiled at him: "Well done."

“…”

“…”

Blinking his eyes and being silent for a long time, the magician looked around, rubbed his brows, let out a long sigh of relief, and at the same time showed a cheerful smile: "Speaking of my wave, I can How many points?"

"I'll give you full marks."

The girl in kimono smiled slightly: "First open the way with the gate of God, and conceptually reach the position of God above the "heaven", and then imitate the actions of the Creator in key aspects, and at the same time use your own behavior to represent God The key characteristics of the two finally make it impossible for others to completely distinguish the difference between the two, and complete the armor..."

"And choose to split the concept of God with the concept of antichrist, to ensure its own independence, to the uninitiated outsiders, you are God, to yourself, you are yourself, claiming to be God but not being turned into God, this Very nice."
