Chapter 359 Shadows and the Unknown
Many years later, facing the Paladin, the Life Cultists will recall the distant afternoon when Ansu gave his blood to Chaos, and the apologetic apology he said——
"I'm sorry."
The blood slid down Ansu's cheek, and the blood had dyed the boy's snow-white collar red.
Even though he was attacked and his body was extremely weak, he still maintained the posture of a fighter, still held his straight spine, clenched his fist and raised his arm, and there was only pride and courage in his dark blue eyes. He would never surrender, he would never bow his head. The cold wind fluttered the gray candle of Chaos, and the flame hit the boy's back like a flag. He said noblely and honorably:
"I am already in the shape of Lord Chaos"
[Delicious child, interesting, you are the first child who dares to speak to the Mother Goddess of Life like this]
Fuck, how can you be serious and say such irresponsible words with such a proud and handsome face!
Damn Ansu, relying on his extraordinary talent, he actually did such a thing!
He can even speak with love.
The life believers beat the ground in pain, and tears of bitterness and regret flowed down their cheeks. It's all their fault that their bodies are useless and not delicious enough, so they can't satisfy the Mother Goddess and make the Mother Goddess hungry. This is all their fault!
But what can the life believers do? Ansu is the cursed son chosen by God, and they can only choose to forgive.
At the same time, the chaotic citizens are completely boiling.
Ansu Milton's words officially declared his position as a "chaotic faction". Even if he is the cursed son in the prophecy, he is completely on the side of the chaotic citizens.
"Member Ansu! Member Ansu! Member Ansu!"
Today is about to end. Ansu stands on the top of the trial court. The tipsy evening breeze carries countless waves, and the cheers of the people surge into his ears like waves.
[Support rate of the trial court constituency: 100%].
——This is an achievement that no politician has ever achieved since the establishment of the Tribunal District.
No matter how popular or charming a candidate is, he can only hover around 90% at most. A 100% support rate symbolizes that Ansu has completely conquered this constituency and turned it into his own vote bank.
Ansu now has two constituencies, one is Chaos Outer City and the other is Trial Square. This makes his support rate in Awad reach 10%, which means that he has entered the top five candidates in this election.
There is no need to say much about Ansu's contribution. In just the first two days of becoming a candidate, he has made many impressive political achievements.
First, the problem of too many immigrants in Chaos Outer City (sucking all the colonists to death), then the largest source of pollution in Awad was rectified (Miss Luojia's cake shop was closed), the cleanliness of Chaos Prison was rectified (all the garbage was sacrificed to the Mother Goddess of Life), and finally the high debt of all citizens of the Tribunal was solved (all creditors were burned to death).
No candidate has ever achieved such outstanding political achievements in the three major aspects of population, environment, and economy at the same time. Therefore, it is only natural that Ansu can get the unanimous support of the Tribunal.
Of course, in order to achieve such results, in addition to Ansu's noble character of loving the people like his grandson, the help of Lady Smile is also indispensable.
He watched Lady Smile gradually disappear in front of him - the punishment for blasphemy had come, and the latter's soul and flesh melted in the sun-like flames. In an instant, only shallow colored ripples were left on the ground, and as the sun's light faded, the rainbow also dissipated.
The rainbow has more colors than the sun, but it has forgotten that all its brilliance comes from the sun; when the day ends, when the sunset of Awad falls and melts into Ansu's pupils, after losing its shelter, the whole world will dim, including these rainbows.
This is the sunset of the Awad Theocracy.
From tonight onwards, it will also be the kingdom of the morning star.
Ansu looked into the distance. The demigod candle was almost burned out. The sky returned to normal. The sun at the end of the sky was falling from the thick clouds. The gorgeous and prosperous city streets were gradually fading with the sunset, fading back to gray and white. Gray was the hazy sky, and white was the piles of bones.
In any case, according to the merits, Madam Smile should be credited. If it weren't for Madam Smile's final golden assistance, Ansu would never have achieved a 100% support rate.
"Fight, fight, fight!" - When he raised his arms and shouted with blood on his face, the chaotic citizens were completely boiling. Fuck, fight, fight! Who else can stop such a great councillor Ansu? Who else can stop him!
Fight that last battle. Although I don't know why we have to fight, in short, it's all ignited! Fight, fight, fight!
The citizens saw Madam Smile openly killing Ansu, and then they understood that the so-called "correct faction" were all brave but reckless men who didn't even do assassination. How could they lead their future?
If Madam Smile didn't kill Ansu openly, but hired some magic snipers, squatted on the eaves of the opposite house with retired military wands, and took advantage of Ansu's speech to shoot a big fireball at his head, that would be
This moment is the time for green garlic.
"I will kill all of you, I will kill all of you!"
"Green garlic, green garlic!"
With the death of Madam Smile, the correct faction that originally ruled the Tribunal also ushered in the beginning of its collapse:
The rioting citizens attacked the Rainbow Elves' meeting place. The flame giants threw down the burning pots. The protein and fat were sizzling and emitting an attractive aroma. The merchants and butchers were sharpening their knives and preparing to weigh all the right parties. With the Rainbow Elves, there was no need to prepare New Year's goods this year. These delicacies were enough to eat until next year.
Ansu retracted his gaze from the beautiful scenery and set his sights on Mr. Devil, the second hero of this trial.
Mr. Devil was not burned to death by the fire. Of course, he could not be burned to death. Tonight's bill was still waiting for Mr. Devil to pay.
If Mrs. Smile is the best assistant, then Mr. Devil is the best economy. As the shift guard of the Chaos City Management Bureau, he is the first person responsible for the court of trial.
The court of trial was burned, but it's okay. All the consumption tonight will be paid by the Devil Prince!
As soon as Mr. Devil saw the look Ansu gave him, he began to sweat profusely; his mouth twitched slightly, and he said with an unpleasant face, "Mr. Ansu, the ceremony has not ended yet, and there are still two candles that have not been judged. Once the Seven Gods Ceremony begins, you must complete the ceremony thoroughly."
"You think the fire is not big enough?" Ansu widened his eyes in surprise.
"That's right." Mr. Devil nodded, "If you burn me to death, I will die in the line of duty, and my family will no longer have to pay the debt."
"I see." Ansu nodded thoughtfully.
"And if I die, it will be your turn to pay the debt."
Mr. Devil smiled and said, his mouth corners split strangely, "If I die, you will be the only official of the Tribunal, and the person in charge will be your turn."
"You?" Ansu also sweated profusely, waiting for me here!
Mr. Devil did not lie, once the Seven Gods Ceremony begins, it must be completed, otherwise Ansu will also be punished by the ceremony.
He looked helplessly at the dark blue candle in the center of the altar. This was the candle of the stars and Naraku, and it was also the only absolutely neutral god among all the gods.
Next to the dark blue candle was the dark black human oil candle, the shadow and unknown candle. Even in the prosperous era of the esoteric religion, the shadow and unknown sects were still the rarest and most mysterious of the seven sects. Only pure-blooded demons could practice shadow magic and become shadow believers.
According to common sense, a pure-blooded human like Ansu could not be blessed by the shadow mother goddess.
His involvement with the stars was not as deep as the previous beliefs, and the shadow belief - this mysterious belief that was about to become extinct in the future, Ansu had no contact with it at all, and there was almost no intersection. Logically, there would not be any big flames.
Should it be like this?
In short, try the 'star candle' first.
With such an optimistic idea, Ansu dragged his bloody body and walked into the area covered by the dark blue candle.
As soon as he stepped into the realm of the gods, under the blessing of the ceremony, all the experiences and pasts related to the stars spread out like flowing water. What surprised Ansu was that it was not the memory of the present world, but one dream after another. It was just a moment, but it seemed as long as a lifetime.
Not only what he could remember, but also the past he had forgotten, all appeared clearly in front of him.
He had entered the world of Naraku three times in total, and he had three dreams and remembered those three dreams.
Ansu saw the starry sky plates arranged on the blood-red long table, and he was also a dish on the plate. The gods used knives and forks to divide the food of the times;
He saw countless stars falling from the sky, and the fragments of the times fell into the dynasties of mankind. After the dynasties collapsed one after another, they turned into fragments of stars, floating in the air, waiting for the next fall;
At the end of the dream, Ansu saw himself becoming one of the stars, falling with the stars in the glorious era.
The navy blue flames engulfed everything in his memory, and also engulfed Ansu.
When Ansu woke up from his dream, he heard countless noisy and strange hums in his ears. He gasped for air and his heart beat violently. What exactly did all this represent? What exactly did all this indicate? Ansu had no idea. No one except God could know.
By the way, what happened to the candle?
In this short moment, Ansu actually lost consciousness.
He raised his head, supported his tired eyes, and looked at the Tribunal - but he did not see the Tribunal, the entire Tribunal had disappeared.
The navy blue embers flowed on the gully-filled ground, and the broken walls of the Tribunal melted into the color of navy blue, with scattered spots of starlight everywhere; and all the citizens of the Trial Square and the citizens in front of the magic screen stared at Ansu with their eyes wide open. The explosion just now was close to life and chaos.
In the long silence, everyone was speechless.
This young man was actually chosen by the six gods.
He is just a pure-blooded human, but he can do this!
Everyone realized that fact. From now on, the history of the Chaos Church will add another record of "Six Gods' Co-election".
Mr. Devil's whole body was blasted to a charred color. Half of his body was flowing with fire, and the other half was exposed to bones; but the vitality of the pure-blooded demons was extremely strong. Even if half of his body was melted and the other half was torn apart, Mr. Devil still did not die.
He looked at Anzu as if he was looking at a monster.
"It's a pity." Mr. Demon shook his head with regret and pain, "It's just a little short of the heat. No chance."
The most painful thing in life is having no money, and what is more painful than having no money is having no money and still being in debt. What is more painful than being in debt is being alive without money, being in debt.
Although Anzu has brought countless shocks, Mr. Demon still does not believe that Anzu can light the shadow candle - not only does he think so, but even Anzu's fanatical supporters do not have any hope.
Because the shadow in the shadow and unknown faith is the faith that pays most attention to racial blood.
Even though he is a cursed child, Anzu is still a pure-blood human.
In addition to looking at bloodline, the 'unknown' among shadows and unknowns depends on the level of education; Mrs. Smile, an orthodox rainbow flag race who dropped out of prenatal education, barely ignited the fire of shadow, and barely got involved in the 'Six Gods Co-Selection' ', and Ansu, this boy, is very educated at first glance and knows a lot of knowledge.
Suffering from the erosion of culture, without the innocent smile that the Shadow Goddess likes, I can only be destined to be a question maker for the rest of my life.
Even Ansu didn't think he could light it.
The most important thing is that [seven gods co-select], this is a false proposition that cannot exist. In the tens of thousands of years since the Chaos Theocracy, no matter how talented a secret cultist is, they have never been able to become the co-choice of the seven gods. Even in the epic stories, there has never been a "co-choice of the seven gods".
"Okay, let's finish the process." Mr. Demon shrugged his shoulders indifferently. He is just a human being. Only pure-blooded demons like him can be recognized by the shadows.
Ansu nodded. It was getting very late. Miss Luojia was still waiting for him to be released from prison. It was time to finish and go home early.
The time for that idiot saint's coronation has also passed. She dared to be so arrogant before because there was no driftwood. Ansu couldn't wait to go home and watch her explode into a steam engine.
And, he needs treatment.
Although Ansu's body has now reached the level of a saint, his body has been continuously injured in many places, and too much blood has passed away. His face has begun to look a little pale, and his walking is also a little wobbly. It is time to end today.
The setting sun has long since faded at the end of the mountains. The dark night is shrouded in thick shadows, and darkness envelopes everything in Awad.
Ansu dragged his steps slightly unsteadily and stepped in front of the last candle.
And all his memories and past related to shadows and unknowns, whether he remembers them or not, as long as they have ever existed, will be evoked from the ceremony of the Seven Gods and judged by the gods.
The black candle stood on the edge of the altar, swaying gently with the evening breeze, and also swayed in Ansu's eyes. The black shadow became larger and larger, covering everything in the young man's eyes at this moment.
Ansu saw himself climbing up the ladder of destiny, and then falling along the endless darkness. He heard the patter of autumn rain mixed with the sound of wind. It seemed like he had known each other before. It was obviously so strange, but yet so familiar. .
[Shadow and Unknown] correspond to [Light and Truth].
The shadows submerged in the light, the truth buried in the unknown, this is the first time in the seventeenth year of Naraku's world that the footer has been turned.
The shadow is the light, the unknown is the truth.
In the dark prison cell, peeling iron filings danced noisily with the autumn rain.
The swaying figures were reveling in the rainy night, the blood and bones were splashed, the altar candles were blasphemous and crazy.
As well as the sacrifices that were placed on the altar, the gray-haired boy whose navy blue eyes were extinguished and who seemed to be dying——
【Ansu Morningstar】.
That's himself.
In the alternation of shadow and light, Ansu heard a voice in the darkness:
——"Master Morning Star."
