Chapter 728: Sudden Monster, Sudden Crisis
Wearing the robes woven by the priests themselves, he enjoyed the fattest livestock in the city, as well as vegetables picked in the morning with dew on them.
He was served carefully by people like the son of God.
But this was not because of merit and achievement, but only for sacrifice, to offer this carefully carved "sacrifice" to the gods in exchange for a generous day of rest.
No one thought there was anything wrong with this matter. Even the man himself, after his eldest brother was bitten to death by a monster at home and his younger brother was slaughtered by the goddess when he joined the resistance army, he also expressed that living was meaningless.
Death is a terrible thing, but compared to the poverty of having nothing at home, the hunger that cannot be filled, and the loneliness of no one to accompany him... falling into the netherworld is actually generous.
Because the world abandoned him, and he did not want to save this world on the verge of destruction.
But at this time-the delegation from Uruk broke into the forest and visited the isolated city of Ur.
"Hu... Hu..." The heart beat violently, not knowing whether it was out of fear or excitement. At this moment, the man was extremely glad that he had enjoyed the delicious food before leaving, so that he would not have any regrets whether he succeeded or failed.
Closer, closer, the goddess temple shining with the glory of God was already in sight.
Crossing the layers of stone steps, with the sunlight shining through the gaps in the dense trees, the huge, deafening sound gradually became clear, almost tearing his eardrums. Through the flying light and dust, the man trembled, looked up, and finally met the goddess with a devilish smile in the dazzling light and shadow, and the black clothes standing silently, majestic and cold.
So, he threw away all his hesitation and fear.
"God of the Sun!" The man in exquisite robes and smeared with ointment knelt on his knees, puffed up his chest, and roared with piety:
"I am an insignificant member of the city of Ur who believes in you. I have come here through hardships to tell you a message."
"I beg you to be merciful!"
————
The gushing earth fire roared like a giant pillar, rising to the sky.
But then, the pillar of fire was torn from the middle.
Facing the small but Tyrannosaurus-like fist of the South American goddess, the man in black robes was silent, raised his hand, clenched his five fingers, let the dead flame surge from his fingers, and smashed it tit for tat.
It collided with the heavy fist infused with the majesty of God.
Boom!
The sound of iron and stone cracking rang out, and the explosion of collapse was like a bamboo joint being split, which continued endlessly. Under the disintegrating divine light, the goddess widened her eyes in delight, watching her arm twisting little by little, breaking into broken cracks.
It was as if she was not facing an iron fist, but a spear that could only advance and not retreat!
Just as she swung her agile long legs and wanted to continue to immerse herself in the joy of fighting, she heard a voice.
A strange, humble voice of human beings praying.
The fighting spirit was blown away by the breeze. The goddess shook her head, threw away the fierce killing that still remained in her consciousness, and then tied up her long hair, shook her head at the silent sparring partner, coughed lightly, and regained her solemn and cold appearance.
Facing the strange man who prostrated himself, she slowly landed.
"A human from Ur City?" Driven by divine power, her voice turned into a tide, spreading layer by layer and reaching the man's ears.
"You actually violated the contract between me and Ur City and crossed the dense forest to come here... Well, judging from your attire, you are a sacrifice from Ur City, right? If you want to exchange my mercy with your courage and recklessness in crossing the rain forest, I'm sorry, but I will never agree to it."
The invisible hostility turned into a cage and squeezed in, making the man grit his teeth and kowtow heavily: "That's not the case, goddess, I came here to exchange a message for your gift!"
Without waiting for the goddess to speak, he was afraid that he would lose the courage to speak, and he said the news like a bamboo tube pouring beans: "The envoys from Uruk City, calling themselves Fujimaru Ritsuka, Merlin, Anna, Shuoyue... A total of four people arrived in Ur City today!"
"They want to overthrow your rule, goddess! They want the ignorant people of Ur City to escape the rain forest and get away from it. Your jurisdiction is really - unforgivable!"
Faced with the man's impassioned speech, the sun goddess fell into a brief silence. The man stole a glance and found that the goddess' face showed an inexplicable look. If he had to say it, it seemed like she was expecting something, but also seemed disappointed and angry...
"So, today's living sacrifice." The goddess sighed distantly, "In exchange for such news, what do you hope to get from me?"
"An honor."
Full of joy and gratitude, the man bowed down again: "It is the honor of being your brother and running for you in the city of Ur."
"I hope I can replace that decayed chief priest and become your will and agent who presides over the contract between gods and humans!"
He spoke loudly, but his eyes full of courage and desire were deeply shadowed.
For a moment, the man seemed to see the plump cattle and sheep mooing, smell the rich fragrance of the dishes served, and when his fingers moved, he could feel the softest stitches embroidered by the most skillful beauty from the moist soil.
But as his vision rose, what came into view was his headless, piously kneeling body, followed by the branches of the trees dyed bright red, and the clear and spotless blue sky.
Ah, it's so beautiful... (No, no, no! How could this be!)
Is this the death I was waiting for... (Almost, so almost!)
Thank you, great and noble goddesses... (Why did you abandon me, why didn't you show mercy!)
Perhaps in his last moments, the man would realize his insignificance and laugh at his insignificant self-touching.
But now, the death he wished for found him, and in his smile that was not yet stiff, he fell into endless darkness.
Before the impossible glory and greed, after the responsibility and awareness that were discarded like a worn-out shoe.
Then, the spirit was majestic.
Witnessing the death of humans in front of her by beheading, the pupils of the sun goddess shrank suddenly, and subconsciously, she released the suppressed anger.
The wind was strangled in the throat, suffocating in fear. As the trees fell in fear, the gilded eyes pierced the sudden uninvited guests:
"You... monsters!"
"Watch your words, the remnants of the old times." They were aliens wrapped in black leather. They flapped their powerful carapace wings, held their hands, and the white lips and teeth that replaced the head grinned, as if sneering at everything they saw.
"Hey, did you kill something just now?" One asked casually.
"Who knows, it's so fragile that it doesn't feel anything at all." The other responded with a sneer, "Even a blade of grass or a tree is harder than him."
As if what they pulled off during the flight was not a human head, but some insignificant dust, the two Baal Lahm opened their drooling mouths and laughed sharply and twistedly.
"Hey, are you kidding me? Are you angry? Are you angry?"
"Who knows? A great goddess of the sun would actually show an angry look for humans? Hahahaha, that's just like--"
The demonic energy that was completely different from the rules of this world rose up one after another. The two Baal-Rahmu looked at the goddess of the sun and the slowly arriving black-robed man, and their tone suddenly became cold:
"Just like that stupid guy at the beginning!"
Even when facing his companions, he did not hide his doubts and warnings.
Even if he broke into the realm of the gods, he still swaggered and even threatened the goddess who was his master.
Despised and slaughtered humans; mocked and despised the world.
It was like the incarnation of all the evil deeds in the world.
It was unbelievable that this was the child that Tiamat called when she was dying, and now he is the extremely dangerous leader who is above all the goddesses in the [Three Goddesses Alliance].
"Hey, hey, by the way, your behavior is also suspicious." Taking advantage of the topic, the two Baal Rahmu turned their spearheads to the sun goddess, "Although the mother has kindly given you the project of destroying mankind, you don't seem to be happy."
"Who knows? The so-called 'rule of killing only one person a day'..." The other sneered, "It's so slow that it's disgusting. This old-time garbage is shamelessly approaching in front of you, and you even have to get close to listen carefully... Are you a dog begging for your master's mercy? Do you want to lie on the ground, take off your clothes, expose your belly, and wag your tail to beg for mercy from us?"
Hearing the blasphemous words, the goddess' eyes were filled with murderous intent, but faster than her was Baal Rahmu flapping his wings and flying, turning into a line of black light.
At a speed that even the gods could not catch, Baal Rahmu grinned and crashed into the arms of the black-robed man. His claws, which were sharp enough to pierce through a solid wall, penetrated his chest fiercely and knocked him to the ground.
"Humans are just discarded old products, and they don't need any care at all-just like this guy!"
Bang!
The black-robed man fell silently. Under Baal Rahmu's ruthless efforts, even the goddess's divine domain sank instantly, collapsing into a deep pit.
Even the dragon was about to be killed by the attack, but when Baal Rahmu released the suppression, the black-robed man stood up again.
The chest made a sound of breaking and reorganizing, but after just a few heavy breaths, the black-robed man returned to his original appearance, lowered his head, and was indifferent.
Looking at the weapon that was still unharmed after being hit hard, the goddess' eyes flashed with amazement, while Baal Rahmu tensed his body as if facing a great enemy.
After accepting the transformation of the mother, this thing became more and more weird. Even now, they can still hear the sound of cells deep in this skin constantly dying and regenerating, striving to grow to the extreme.
To this day, how far has this thing grown?
But this fear soon turned into pleasure.
The stronger the fallen heroes are, the better, because doesn't this mean that they will fight harder to kill their compatriots?
"By the way, what did the little bug that was just crushed to death say?"
Suddenly, Baal Rahmu laughed softly, staring at the silent black-robed man, not hiding his surging malice.
"That damn nightmare and the bastard with that face, and the weak human that the guy regarded as hope, seem to have come all the way to Ur City."
"What do you want to do--" The instinctive ominous premonition made the goddess raise her head alertly, and then she heard the crazy laughter of the monsters.
"Hey, then, does that mean that Uruk is unguarded?"
"Who knows? But in other words, there are only four stupid reptiles that broke into our territory!"
The carapace wings spread out, and the pressure of the main god level spread with malice, making the rain forest dyed with desperate gray and black.
Looking at the two laughing Baal-Rahmu, the heart of the sun goddess Quetzal-Coatl sank completely.
Under the vicious words, even the noble gods closed their eyes in pain.
"We are looking forward to it." The monster smiled strangely and offered a blessing:
"Looking forward to the scene where the former hero will destroy everything he swore to protect!"
