Invincible Chapter 661

Zuatu is divided into upper, middle and lower districts.

The outermost part of the lower area is built on flat ground.

On the repaired stone platform in the central area, it was originally a rock mountain, which was greatly developed. The stones mined were used to build the city and walls, and the stone mountain was gradually cut into the core building of Zuatu foundation.

The location of the blood sacrifice is in Zhongcheng District. Most of the officially organized activities are in this area. This area is also the area where the city-state facilities are most concentrated.

Kane and Somer went up the stairs, and when they arrived at the blood sacrifice square, it was already crowded with people.

This square is not the largest in Zuatu, but it has a good location and high popularity, so the blood sacrifices are basically held here. The large square is generally only used for super-large-scale events such as launching city-state wars.

People stand casually in the square, which looks messy, but no one whispers, or even makes a big noise, so it doesn't feel noisy.

In the center of the square are the temple warriors of Hexis, the god of poisonous snakes. Their armor looks gorgeous and sophisticated at first glance. Gemstones are used as eyeballs, which look lifelike.

And once you take a closer look, you will find that the practicality of those equipment is not high, and there is no constant spell effect, just the simplest magic attachment, which looks glamorous.

When Kane arrived, the 13 trolls who were going to be blood sacrificed had already been escorted to the center of the square by Hexis warriors. They only had the most basic wrapping cloth to cover their private parts. Oil paint with white as the base color.

Kane can only interpret the content of these oil paints with probability, the most conspicuous of which is the green bone snake logo, which represents that this is a sacrifice to Hexis.

The 13 trolls were all tied up in five flowers, unable to move at all, with despair and fear shining in their eyes.

A Hexis warrior was already reading out the verdict. According to him, most of the sacrificial victims were guilty of serious crimes, and the other two were exposed spies from other city-states.

However, in Kane's eyes, there is obviously a problem with his statement.

Among the sacrificed persons, there were at least four people who were usually pampered. Even if two of them were spies, there were still two from the noble class and above. Obviously, the strife between the upper class of Zuatu was very cruel. of.

After the samurai confessed his crimes in public, it was time for the officiant to appear on the stage.

There are special facilities for the officiant to rest temporarily. At this moment, under the protection of the warrior guard of honor, he walked out of the facility.

In the back row of the guard of honor is the musical instrument team, mainly tambourines and bagpipes, which are special instruments. They play and beat, which sounds a little different to Kane, but it is not unpleasant.

But when the music looped to the second section, the Hirschs believers in the square began to sing carols, and some non-believers also sang along. This is said to increase the likelihood of receiving the Blessing of the Serpent.

Kane naturally scoffed at such a statement, but some people believed it.

Therefore, the atmosphere in the square quickly became intense. Even those who can't sing or know the words can hum a few words along with them. Many hums converge into a buzzing sound, and the effect can catch up with that of the Uranus superstar in the original world. The concert is here.

Amidst the chorus, the priest cast a spell and summoned a bust of Hexis from the round platform in the center of the square.

Kane noticed that the officiant did not use the magic of summoning the gods, but the magic of activating the mechanism. That is to say, the bust of Hexis is somewhere underground in the square. When necessary, activate the mechanism, and the statue will rise up .

He guessed that the same is true of other gods,

Seeing the rising of the idol, the believers of Hexis took the lead in praying.

So the singing quickly weakened and was replaced by prayers. The prayers became more and more orderly, and the feeling of solemnity and solemnity gradually emerged.

In the end, it was the drummer who beat the drums to end the prayer, and the square quickly fell silent.

On the altar, the sacrificial ceremony officially began. The officiant danced the sacrificial dance in front of everyone, twisting his waist, swinging his hips and swinging his arms. It had a sense of sight of a slow nightclub, but Kansun had no memory of this.

Kane thought that the sacrifice would officially start, and it would start after the troll-style big rope jump. He didn't expect that people would be dancing, killing people, jumping and jumping to one of the sacrificed. The dagger in the shape of fangs pulled out from the waist was stabbed at the chest of a sacrificed person.

Looking at his technique, Kane knew that the chief priest had never fought with a sword in battle, but the pig-killing knife used in the blood sacrifice was very smooth, clean and neat, and the entry point was well chosen.

Blood spattered, and the sacrificed wailed in pain.

When the wailing faded away, the chief priest stepped forward to dissect it on the spot. While the victim's body was still convulsing, he skillfully took out the beating heart, lifted it high, and held it to Hexis with both hands. Place it on the altar directly in front of the statue.

Afterwards, the officiant danced again, this time the dance was obviously different from the previous one, it seemed crazy, and it brought up afterimages, making a hissing sound like a poisonous snake spitting out a letter.

Yes, there is a large crowd, but the voice is very clear, as if it rings in everyone's ears, which is a divine characteristic.

Kane was refreshed. As far as he was concerned, only at this moment did the officiant come up with some dry goods. Simply put, he used divine power to carry out the ceremony.

The previous ones are nothing, and can even be equated with the performances of those witches and gods. Once the divine power is used, it will truly build a bridge between humans and gods to interact. This is dry goods.

Not only does it represent technology, but it can also feed back some of the information that Kane cares about through specific phenomena.

With the dance of the priest's divine power, some miraculous things happened, for example, the sacrificed heart pulsated powerfully again, and then glowing blood gushed out from the blood vessels, and its blood volume far exceeded the capacity of the heart.

The gushing blood first filled the grooves on the altar, and then unreasonably followed the grooves to connect with the statue of Hesis. In the end, it looked like the two expressive fangs of the statue of Hesis. The blood-like venom is constantly spewing out, forming a blood gushing in the groove.

This is considered to be a unique connection. It is not clear where the source started, but it has been running.

After completing this step, the officiant was freed from the mad dance. His face was sweaty but his expression was excited. He picked up the machete on the back inlaid with gold and silver, and chopped off the dead man's head with one blow. Let people see clearly the expression that is still showing various painful details like a living person, and tell people loudly that the sacrifice has pleased Hexis, and Hexis is using venom to punish the sacrificed person, so that his soul will die. rest in peace.

The trolls in the square cooperated with each other with expressions of awe and murmured prayers.

Kane knew that this was simply nonsense. After the connection between man and god is established, it is all nonsense. It can be said that it is in front of the gods, pulling the banner of the gods to cheat.

Some people think that the main purpose of the blood sacrifice is that the god is so weak that he needs to rely on the life energy in the blood to survive.

This is a wrong perception. God is a body of spiritual energy, and what he absorbs is also spiritual power.

On the basis of knowing this information, looking at the blood sacrifice, one can draw a conclusion that it is an artificial establishment of a channel of faith to transmit the power of faith to God.

This operation is not a good way, it is tantamount to forcibly feeding the gods.

Because the power of faith transmitted in this way is negative. Emotions such as fear, panic, and even resentment are inevitably mixed in it, and even overwhelming becomes the main ingredient.

In Kane's view, this is like constantly giving people prescription drugs with serious side effects, and good people can be tossed and disabled.

At the same time, it can also be understood as an act of selling bad wine by mixing water with it. Positive beliefs are not strong enough, so I use this kind of stuff to make up.

This is a kind of harm to both sides. For the gods of the faith system, they are always washed away by the power of this inferior faith, and their thinking and state must not be good. Over time, it is easy to degenerate and twist.

Saying that the god of faith is man-made refers to this point.

The God of Faith is the embodiment of all thoughts. All thoughts are heterogeneous and impure, even all kinds of negative. Can we expect to bear good fruit?

And for believers, doing so is also very painful.

Any coercion will make people unhappy, and the same is true for beliefs. Threats and lures make you perform well, which is completely another kind of coolie in a black coal mine. How difficult is it to say?

Then after talking for a long time, both ends are not good, except for those capable people who play this trick at a low price?

The answer is no.

The divine power of a fallen god is like dirty water. Priests use this sewage every day as a stream of interception. Will he get well?

Then the question came again, why did some people do such a thing that harms others and does not benefit oneself, and why do they do it so happily?

Because this is at least a way. Even if it is drinking poison to quench thirst, it is still working. Even if power has negative attributes, it is still power. People are hungry, and the dirty bread in the trash can is in front of them. Do you want to eat it?

That's probably what it means. From a certain point of view, there is no way to tinker with this set.

Of course, in Kane's view, they do not deserve sympathy.

Because there is no way is the general trend, under this general trend, the individual's desire for profit is double-teamed.

Generally speaking, the situation is very complicated. There are pressures from the general environment, as well as personal greed and ambition. Various factors combined to give birth to such a deformed thing.

I have long heard that trolls create gods and kill gods. Seeing is better than hearing a hundred things. Today I have seen it. In addition to killing gods, you can also sneak around like cabbage. There are good ways to raise them, depending on how they are used.

To put it bluntly, this is to play with the belief system. The God of Loa may have had a good reputation and a relatively positive image, but now he is no longer good, weak, and only a shell of belief in divine power remains. He is manipulated by others, like an enema The machine used to produce the famous red sausage with lean meat is now producing starchy sausage with fatty meat. The machine is still the same machine, but the raw materials and products have changed.

Kane, who was hidden in the crowd, watched the interactions between the trolls who believed or forced themselves to believe and the officiant on the altar with a blank face.

The blood sacrifice had just begun, after all, only one had been killed.

If you kill one, you can establish a connection for a period of time, and then just like the scene of a promotional event, the officiant is like a host. Get divine power feedback.

After receiving the divine power feedback, the officiant sprinkled a wave of candy, which is the divine power blessing. Further enhance the atmosphere of the scene. And then another wave.

In general, this is the process, of course, the specifics are not dead. For example, if the atmosphere at the scene is not good, then send out wave sugar first. This means that you will put up your supernatural power first, and then take it back later.

And the following audience, also from the embarrassing scene, the cold scene to the hot scene, and the excitement, a few waves of sugar sprinkled down, mesmerized, I want, I want, I want more, the power of faith contributed in this state of excitement, and was The atmosphere at the scene is contagious, those who follow blindly, would rather believe what they have, believe it!

"Looking at it now, I thought too much before. The loa gods are not only weak, but also blurred by the fake wine, and there is no way to distract them to see if there are foreign gods approaching. As long as they don't come with open flames, then You may not be able to discover it even if you pass by. As for the priests, the routine is quite deep, but how much you have inherited the seriousness depends on..." Kane said to Alexstrasza and Ysera when he summed up afterwards. .
