Chapter 1277 Like Heaven
The Holy City roared.
All the chaotic noises were covered by the loud noise of the earth shattering.
The real deal, the world is falling apart.
Deep cracks appeared in the sky, and countless ravines opened on the earth. As the giant wheel turned, strong winds swept in.
The sky that had just lit up was completely covered by darkness. After the false blue sky dissipated, what emerged was the true appearance of the Eternal Paradise.
Real hell!
At this moment, the power hidden in the deepest part of Eternal Paradise was awakened. Once again, it dominated everything and controlled everything.
Amid the horrified cries of countless souls, destruction and restart were unleashed.
But at that moment, a deep crack suddenly appeared on the rotating giant wheel.
Hard to make any progress.
No matter how hard the rulers push it, the giant wheel that cannot be restarted can move forward even a little bit...
It was as if an overestimating pebble had jumped into the delicate and repetitive mechanism, blocking the gears.
--its stuck!
Five minutes ago, whining calls and excited shouts sounded outside the pharmacy in the lower area.
"Help, help!"
Outside the fence in front of the window, a blood-stained face approached, slapping the railing in despair and calling hoarsely. Unfortunately, the two old men in the room just calmly lowered their heads and drank tea.
Not even looking up again.
Talk to each other.
It wasn't until the pursuer's footsteps began to sound that the ferocious look on the pleading face gradually appeared. He glanced at the two people in the room viciously, turned around and ran away.
"Get him! Kill that bitch!"
"He can't run far!"
Faint shouts came, accompanied by faint explosions.
In the house, Guo Shouque, who was next to the fire, slowly picked up the boiling kettle, poured himself another cup, and said with a smile: "The people asking for help are obviously already standing at the door, but the priest is indifferent and doesn't even bother to look. At a glance...is this the principle taught in the holy scriptures?"
The bishop was still flipping through the newspaper in his hand, but he just raised his eyes and glanced at the old man with a strange smile, seeming to point out: "They are nothing more than beasts, what is there to see?"
"oh?"
Guo Shouque grinned, "As expected of the Archbishop of the Knights Templar, it's okay to be polite to heretics like me. It's a great mercy to not be held accountable for the sake of helping each other in the same boat, isn't it?
Do you hate corruption so much, Bishop? "
"..."
The sound of turning over newspapers stopped slightly for a moment.
The bishop finally raised his head, adjusted the scratched glasses on the bridge of his nose, looked at him, and suddenly asked: "Who can say that he has never fallen, Mr. Guo?"
"..." Guo Shouque was slightly speechless.
"I hate them because I used to be just like them. Seeing them is like seeing the ignorant myself——"
The old bishop closed the newspaper and said seriously: "Once, my teacher told me that one day, I will become a better person, and then I will be able to view everything equally.
But now, after so many years, I still hate them because I know that part of my heart is the same as them.
Maybe, it’s because I can’t become a great person after all? Even after so many years of practice and thinking, once I thought that I might be reduced to such an ugly appearance, I couldn't stop the resentment and hatred that arose in my heart.
This has nothing to do with falling or not. "
"It's just me," he said.
I never thought that this archbishop, who was always known for his strictness and integrity, would reveal his heart so frankly. Even Guo Shouque was a little surprised for a moment, and even doubted whether the other party was joking with him.
"Is there a beast in the hearts of believers?"
"Everyone has it in their hearts, whether they believe it or not," the bishop said. "That's why order, morality, teaching and whipping are needed to draw the line between humans and beasts."
Guo Shouque listened silently, as if he understood something, and shook his head, unable to agree: "Wouldn't it be painful to have such a harsh understanding and struggle all the time?"
"It may be painful, but this pain is inevitable. This is the prerequisite for people to become human. No, maybe, this pain is the price to pay for being born as a human?
If one day, you forget about pain and dogma, and still think that you are free and happy, you may have unknowingly become a beast..."
The bishop reached out, took off his glasses from the bridge of his nose, and placed them on the table.
Snapped!
A soft sound sounded from inside the room.
On his face, a thin and winding crack slowly extended, and then there was another one, as if a bug crawled out of his heart, so ugly.
The bishop finally sighed: "I'm leaving."
In the silence, Guo Shouche looked at the cracks on his face and his expression changed: "I'll see you off."
"Need not."
The bishop shook his head, as if laughing at himself: "I have been high-sounding all my life, but at the end, I started to waver and be afraid. If I show any ugly appearance and be seen by others, it will not be beautiful."
He stood up slowly and nodded goodbye to his companions: "If someone asks me about my last appearance after I go back, please give me a nice word, Mr. Guo."
"This is what a prude like you can say..."
Guo Shouque sighed and stopped looking. He finally picked up the teacup in his hand and said, "Let's go."
No one responded.
Only a broken voice sounded from the bishop's body.
The old face was covered with cracks and suddenly shattered. What was behind the crack was not a body of flesh and blood, but an authoritative relic slowly emerging from the surging light and the dazzling light of the soul.
That's...a fragment of the holy book!
At this moment, when the bishop raised his face and looked at the sky with his remaining single eye, a loud noise burst out from the inside of the Eternal Paradise.
Restart, stop suddenly!
When the broken bishop took a step forward, there was a brilliant light rising from the inner layer of the Eternal Paradise, so dazzling.
When the old body was burned in the fire, in the dazzling light, the saint's soul spread its wings and stepped into the core of the eternal paradise!
Hold on tight, this fleeting moment!
Just when the Eternal Paradise restarts, all internal and external barriers fail, and all frameworks and structures are completely exposed, throw this power into the deepest part of hell!
The rotating giant wheel was stuck in place.
Restart, abort!
At this moment, the majestic saint stepped on the abyss, like a bubble, penetrating through the layers of obstacles and blockades, passing by the rulers.
"What has been done must be done again. What has been done must be done again."
With every step forward, the crack on the giant wheel becomes deeper and deeper, gradually carving into the core of the Eternal Paradise.
Together with the authority and power from the Holy Scriptures!
The bishop took one last look at the outraged rulers, and as the destroyer looks down upon the kings of the earth, preached the truth.
"You should remember that there is nothing new under the sun——"
——There will be none in the darkness!
The moment the words fell, the scream of collapse rose from the giant wheel.
Falling apart!
The reincarnation and cycle mechanism of Eternal Paradise quickly fell apart in front of the bishop!
What has happened will inevitably happen again.
What has already happened will inevitably happen again.
Whether it is good or evil, good or bad, creation or destruction...
The moment the beast discovers fire, the distinction between ignorance and civilization has been established.
No matter how many times the fire is taken away, a new fire will rekindle from the earth. No matter how you modify it, what has already happened will not be shaken.
This is the myth and code that belongs to humans!
The authority that belongs to the world!
At this moment, it has descended here along with the bishop's soul, glowing with majesty.
This is his mission!
But at this moment, just in front of the cage, the bishop's footsteps stopped in place, looking at Huai Shi bound by countless chains, seemingly stunned.
Finally, he smiled in relief and said, "I didn't expect that I managed to escape other people's farewells, but I forgot that you were still here."
Huai Shi looked at him with a complicated expression.
For a moment, he wanted to let the bishop go back from here, return to his body, and just wait for the good news of his victory.
But is it possible that in this world, only you can become a hero?
He was shocked and admired by this, and it was precisely because of this that he was so sad...
"Is there no other way?"
Huai Shi asked softly: "Does it have to be sacrificed?"
"If you want to sacrifice, who else is more suitable for such a task than an old guy like me who is just living on his last breath?"
The bishop replied: "Besides, to be able to achieve such great achievements with such an old body, is there anything else I can ask for?"
Looking into the young man's eyes, the bishop reached out and finally patted his shoulder.
Overflowing with praise and encouragement, tell him:
"Come on, Huai Shi. Your future has just begun."
This is the final goodbye.
He raised his head calmly and walked towards the darkness.
However, behind him, Huai Shi could no longer restrain the sadness surging in her chest, "Bishop, people who commit suicide cannot go to heaven!"
This is obviously what you taught me, have you forgotten it now?
But in the darkness, the bishop turned back and looked at him.
Smile casually.
"No, I'm going to hell."
He said, "You go to heaven."
Just like that, with the flame of the world, the figure walked into the darkness step by step, smiling, expecting, blessing, and never looking back.
Just like rushing to heaven, I fell into hell.
Burned out the last light.
Under his feet, the matrices and disasters engraved at the bottom of Eternal Paradise ushered in silent collapse and annihilation.
In this mercy of giving away souls, the cycle collapses!
From now on, there will be no existence for eternity!
At this moment, the Cord of Order received its final impact and was completely wiped out!
And amidst the angry roars of the rulers, Huai Shi raised his eyes again, looking down at everything in hell indifferently.
Moral ropes, silent wailing.
Usher in the destined destruction.
