Stray Chapter 87: Interlude: The truth…and behind-the-scenes details
The girl in the pure white kimono stared at the magician and showed a gentle smile: "I was worried that your personality would be flooded with infinite records, and it would be washed into nothingness, but now it seems that it is I don't need to worry too much."
"It's mainly because I have self-knowledge that wearing armor is a high-profile thing, but in fact, who can ensure that you replace God with armor, or are you assimilated by God and become a side incarnation of His personification? "
Xia Ran sat down cross-legged in the center of the room without caring, facing the girl face to face, and said this with a slightly self-deprecating tone.
I am forever, now and then is forever, the Lord of all the earth, the Lord of hosts, the creator of all, the revealer of truth, the infinite, the absolute, the transcendent...
Just listening to a series of names, all kinds of terrifying descriptions and prefixes, I know how unreachable the Almighty Almighty is. Eternal multiverse gods and demons are as insignificant and indistinguishable from the dust beneath their feet.
Xia Ran has every reason to believe that even in a closed box like the Magic Forbidden World, there is absolutely no way she wants to completely put on her armor and replace the concept of the only God recorded in the Bible. any possible.
So the armor is only a means, not his ultimate goal.
He knew very well from the beginning to the end that what he wanted to do was to call himself God, imitate the Messiah, and become the Antichrist, not really try to be God... If he really wanted to do that, he would do so many things What is it for?
It's just superfluous and superfluous. If you want to commit suicide, you should be happy, and you don't need to toss so many unnecessary rituals.
The girl in the kimono smiled slightly, and did not dwell too much on this topic, but instead asked: "Let Othinus be a part of the Trinity, do you know why?"
"Isn't that a reminder of the Hanged Man card you gave me? The Trinity cannot be all of me, and must be mixed with heterogeneous beings to further divide the concept of God. First, it is to prevent me from being completely assimilated by the Creator when I wear armor to imitate him, and secondly, it is also exactly in line with Antichrist. symbol of. "
The magician's answer of course.
"I actually considered Aleister at first. After all, his conditions are also in line with the concept of Antichrist. His magical name is Beast666, which represents the beast of the Apocalypse."
The "beast" mentioned in the Book of Revelation is an ancient serpent with seven heads and ten horns. It is destined to be the antichrist, and the number it represents is 666.
Therefore, Aleister, who used such a magic name, used such images and concepts, and naturally had an inseparable connection with it.
It is also the best choice for the Trinity that the Antichrist wants to accomplish...
Because in the Bible, 6 has always been considered an unideal and imperfect number, so the symbol of the Antichrist is 666, to highlight its failure and imperfection, so Xia Ran will be in the ritual part of the Trinity The existence of heterogeneity is deliberately mixed into it.
Through such imperfections, it is closer to the symbolism of the Antichrist and the anti-Messiah. It is also by deliberately creating dissonance and conflict, splitting the concept of the Trinity, and ensuring that when wearing armor, it can maintain its independence to the greatest extent possible. Sex... can be described as thoughtful.
"But he's a troublesome person. He has too many eyes and doubts everything, let alone me. Even he himself is part of the old world he wants to bring down. So if I choose him, I guess the plan is completed. The time is far away, and I have to always worry about what kind of moth he has come up with."
Xia Ran shrugged, as if feeling that the chairman really couldn't get along well.
"In addition to the card you gave me, of course I ruled out Aleister's option and chose Othinus. Although the similarity is less, but as the image of "The Hanged Man", But it is more than enough to make up for the religious symbolism needed in this area. "
Blinking his eyes, he looked directly at the girl in the kimono: "It should be like this?"
"The idea is good, although there are still some points that are not correct, but at least as far as the result is concerned, there is no big problem..." The girl said softly, her tone was as gentle as before, with a tired kindness meaning.
"That's enough, I'm absolutely consequential in this matter."
The magician nodded clearly, and then asked curiously, "But can you tell me? What is the incorrect part?"
"It can't be said to be incorrect either, the main reason is that you don't have the information on this, and you haven't connected the information." The girl in the pure white kimono pondered for a while, "Actually, it is compared to the imagery that is only in the name of magic. And symbolically, Aleister, which is related to the concept of the Antichrist, and Othinus' weight in this aspect is absolute."
"Huh?" Xia Ran was a little surprised. Could it be that there was something she didn't know about.
Seems to have seen his thoughts, "Two Ceremony" smiled and said softly: "You should know that myths are actually metaphors of history, and never exist independently. The human world is a reflection. changes in the world of the gods.”
"I know this..." Xia Ran frowned slightly, of course he knew this.
The changes in myths are often the reflections of the changes in the world of the gods into reality, such as legends, beliefs, and the real environment.
So
From the mysterious past history of a single universe to the changes in the situation of the entire infinite world that affects the past, present and future, some clues can be seen from the myth.
But he still couldn't understand, what does this have to do with Othinus also conforming to the idol concept of Antichrist? If someone else said that, he would definitely think it was absolute nonsense, but it was the girl in kimono opposite who said it.
"A major feature of Norse mythology is that the world will eventually be destroyed. This is the twilight of the gods. This battle is inevitable, and the gods are destined to fail... What kind of secret is this a metaphor, You should be able to guess it, right?"
The girl in the kimono made him think for a while before he said this leisurely.
Xia Ran frowned tightly, her thoughts running like lightning. Norse mythology is indeed a grand mythology system, but it is an alternative. The style of this mythology system is completely different. God is not omnipotent, and the world is not eternal.
The world will eventually perish, the gods will perish...
In the past, he didn't think there was any problem, but now it seems to be really weird. Such a grand mythological system has a long history in the multiverse, radiating the vast and boundless void. The influence remains.
Then how much power exists in this mythological system? The true bodies of those main gods are absolutely top-notch existences that can run rampant in the infinite world. Among the ranks of multi-level gods and demons, they are probably the best and the highest among them.
A mythical system of Nuoda. It used to be unknown what a huge territory it ruled over the infinite world, and what a magnificent quadrant of the void it spanned. Perhaps between the gaps between the branches and leaves of Uktrahir was the billion-dollar ranch world. , every tree branch may run through the source material mother river of unknown number of universes.
But it just perished?
In the doomed Ragnarok, in that inevitable battle, the majestic Rainbow Bridge collapsed and shattered, and the World Tree that supported the universe was engulfed in a raging red lotus flame, After the gods and giants have all died in battle, there is only a great silence and eternal darkness left?
Xia Ran currently has no way to go back to the past and personally explore the deepest history that was sealed in time, but this does not prevent him from connecting the clues and piecing together part of the truth under the advice of the girl in the kimono. Information.
To put it bluntly, the concept of antichrist is the enemy of the only God recorded in the Bible...
And Othinus also conforms to this concept, and the weight ratio is even higher than that of Aleister, and her corresponding identity is undoubtedly the great **** Odin in Norse mythology...
Those are two sure clues, the magician thought.
In addition to what I just said, myths are actually metaphors of history, and the human world is reflecting the changes in the world of gods... Based on this, then the encounters of Nordic mythology in the real world seem to be the truth. gradually surfaced.
Because in the real world, Norse mythology is a mythological system unique to Scandinavia, and its formation time is later than several other mythological systems in the world. In the Middle Ages, cross religion prevailed throughout Norway, and the original beliefs, religions and myths of the Nordic countries were severely attacked.
As a result, Norse mythology was turned into a heresy and burned to the ground.
Xia Ran rubbed her brows, clarified her thoughts, and raised her eyes to look at the girl in kimono opposite: "...is it because of the invasion of the Bible system?"
In that sad, tragic, long history in an unknown past, that ruthless omnipotent one cast a ruthless gaze upon the Norse gods?
"Yes, although they are all imperfect and flawed Protoss, they are not the same after all. On the Greek side, there is also the super-primitive **** of Chronos, who has the only power and is higher than all things. The creator can only look away, but the Nordic world is different, they do not have equal reliance."
The girl in the pure white kimono nodded lightly, confirming the magician's guess.
“That creator gave the fate of the Nordic world an inevitable end, which is Ragnarok, not only the kingdom of giants, the land of fairies and all the creations that can be seen in the atrium will be destroyed, but even the gods will be destroyed. The gods and the dead of the kingdom and the kingdom of the dead will perish with the world in which they live."
"The country of the dead...Isn't it already dead? This is not to be spared?"
Xia Ran twitched the corners of his mouth. Compared with the tragic fate of the Nordic world, it is a miracle that he is still alive and well.
Look at people, the dead will be dragged out and flogged again, completely destroyed.
"It is not the dead that sleep forever. In the mysterious eternity, even death will disappear... This is the will of the Almighty, and it is unavoidable no matter what." "Two Ceremony" looked deeply. He glanced at him and said so if he meant something.
Xia Ran nodded, and then asked thoughtfully: "That's why Othinus... has the concept of antichrist?"
"Yes, in the face of the fate that the Almighty imposes on them, the inevitable Ragnarok, the Nordic gods still face this final outcome frankly, but frankly does not mean sitting still, but Knowing that there is no hope, but still fighting, and finally ushering in the doomed destruction."
The girl in the kimono nodded slightly and said so
“But in any case, choosing to fight and face it head-on is choosing to be the enemy of the creator, plus the inevitable defeat of the Norse gods, the enemy of the gods prophesied in the Book of Revelation will inevitably be defeated. The fate of defeat is average, so she also fits the concept of antichrist."
No wonder he gave himself the Hanged Man's card, affecting his final choice, pointing to Othinus instead of Aleister, so it was all calculated? Every step contains a deep meaning, and it involves a very important reason?
Xia Ran nodded knowingly, feeling that her doubts were half solved.
He thought about it again and continued to ask: "Speaking of which, what is going on in this world?"
This is still the part of his doubts. It is such a closed world, but there are so many traces of mythological systems.
"The fate of Norse mythology is that the world is doomed, and the gods are bound to fail, but after that, after the world is destroyed, the remaining gods will build a new world again." The girl in the kimono said softly, "This universe is the original The fire that remains after the destruction of the Nordic world is also the last hope of that pantheon."
"It was originally just the heyday of the gods, an insignificant bud on the farthest branch of the world tree, but at the end of the defeat of the gods, it became the only last thing they could fight for. A glimmer of hope."
"They spread the concept of existence into the most remote pasture world, and completely sealed the dimensions and time and space that have not been completely destroyed by the war with Rune runes, hoping to preserve the fire of mythology, No matter how weak, as long as there is hope of recovery, the next generation can be opened.”
Casually cast her eyes outside this indescribable room, and then withdrew her gaze, the girl continued lightly:
"There are many "dungeons" like the Forbidden World. After all, this world is not the only kind of fire. They were all banished to the edge of the infinite world by the runes of the Norse gods and completely closed. , cut off the connection with other time and space. "
"However, because before being exiled, they had already intersected with other gods, so these "dungeons" are still not only the background of Norse mythology, Hinduism, Buddhism, Greek mythology, Mayan mythology, witchcraft, Shinto, Shugendo, etc., have appeared. "
“Because the biblical system had already invaded and completely destroyed the Nordic world before being banished and closed, so as you can see, in these “dungeons”, Crusade is still the most powerful religion , has the largest phase in the universe, which is the most intuitive manifestation. "
“…”
“…”
The room fell silent for a while.
After a while, Xia Ran nodded thoughtfully: "I understand, so it is because of this reason that the conditions of these worlds can become the most ideal environment to ascend to God?"
"Yes." The girl in kimono showed a gentle smile again, "Is there any problem?"
"It's gone for now, there's no time here, I should run the corpse and resurrect..." The magician said solemnly, "I've been dead for a few days, and now I have to go back to report safety and give them a surprise... …”
"I don't think most people want surprises, they just want you, the dead, to be emotionally stable."
The little girl made a joke.
"Ahem, then I'm leaving..." The magician tried to stand up.
"Well, let's go."
"I'm really leaving?" After pursing her lips and looking at her, Xia Ran said tentatively again with some hesitation.
“…”
“…”
"Don't worry, everything is predestined, and He already knows everything." The girl in the kimono looked at him with a smile, "The record in the Bible shows that He himself admits to allowing the appearance of the Antichrist, you don't have to. I care so much."
"I can't help it. The whole Nordic world has perished. Isn't that enough for me to be vigilant?... After all, the Lord of Armies is so aggressive and exclusive." Xia Ran sighed. Tone, although he has been upgraded now, he finally crossed the line, and his accumulation has soared into the sky.
But in the face of the enemy...does it make any difference?
"If you are so worried, throw away the Ark of the Covenant as soon as possible after you go back... Anyway, you can only use it once. If you want to use the Ark to tamper with or add new covenants later, it is impossible to be allowed. , and He will no longer sit idly by.”
The girl said lightly.
"That's the only way..." Xia Ran sighed regretfully, somewhat melancholy.
He only used a high-end item like the Ark of the Covenant once, so is he going to let it go now? It's really a waste.
And the only time I used it was to falsely pass on the imperial edict and let the Crusaders crusade against myself, the enemy of God...
That's right, the new covenant from the gods in the forbidden world... was actually uploaded and released by Xia Ran himself, in order to create an opportunity to go public.
