$891 Plan to Save George (10) Letter From the Puppet Master...
Ever since he killed all eight of Enki's children on the sixth floor of the platform, Wei Xun had a premonition. Gods usually have restrictions on killing each other within the same pantheon, just like in the Norse mythology, the Dark God accidentally killed the Light God. Odin wanted to avenge the Light God but couldn't do it himself, but borrowed his son who had just been born and hadn't been washed to kill the god.
But this situation does not apply to the factions of gods that have conflicts at the source of the myth, such as the faction of Apsu and the Dragon Mother against most of the Babylonian gods.
Apsu himself wanted to destroy all gods outside his faction and the Dragon Mother, and was imprisoned in the abyss by Enki. Although the Apsu in the Tower of Babel was killed by the Black Widow herself, and was not killed by Enki as it should be in the myth, the blood feud still follows the myth.
So Wei Xun had a vague feeling after accepting the identity of Apsu that there was a blood feud between him and Enki. If he became strong, Enki would be unlucky. The more children Enki killed, the more active and powerful the power of ‘Apsu’ would become.
Although each god had a small group, Enki was the father of Marduk, the main god of Babylon, and he could not be weak in the Tower of Babel. But now Wei Xun and ‘Dragon Mother’ Black Widow also belonged to the same ‘couple’ small group. Black Widow was suppressing Marduk fiercely outside, and the clay tablets were severely damaged, and the Tower of Babel was not stable to begin with. Marduk’s power was lost by more than half, and Enki could not get too much luck from others.
Therefore, after killing the eight gods who took on Enki’s terminal illness, collecting their souls, feeding their power to the Crow Medal, and stuffing their hearts to the little angel George, Wei Xun obviously had a feeling - Enki was going to die... Why was he dying now? ? This death seemed a little fast, Enki was declining rapidly, a little abnormally fast. The astrologer made a divination for him and found that Mercury was dim and had a falling sign... No, even if it was a relapse of a terminal illness, Enki, a god of the earth, couldn't just disappear like that!
It can only be said that when Wei Xun killed Enki's descendants, something else must have happened. Wei Xun and the astrologer discussed it and ruled out many unlikely guesses, and he suddenly thought of someone.
"Maybe it's the puppeteer?"
Wei Xun pondered and looked at the astrologer. He thought of the puppeteer who had gone to the Tower of Babel first. No one knew what she had done between Black Widow and George, but she was able to force the situation to the point where Black Widow had to kill George and save his soul. It was definitely not simple back then.
Maybe the puppeteer had tampered with the Babylonian gods at that time. Her puppetry was terrifying. The puppet silk buried in the human/god body could be preserved for several years. On weekdays, this god sits, lies and walks normally, and there is no problem at all. However, this is like a time bomb that will explode immediately if the puppeteer is encountered again.
The astrologer originally thought that the possibility was not high, after all, puppets are not omnipotent. Although the puppeteer escaped death, his strength was greatly reduced, and it was still a bit difficult for him to control the Babylonian gods. Until Wei Xun revealed some things about the fragments of the authority of time to the astrologer. Although George did not have his royal authority to suppress and smoothly integrate the fragments of the authority of time, the puppeteer was the previous second-class director after all, and she must have her own trump card.
If she can recover her strength for a short time, it will be easy to control Enki, the god of the earth. Based on this possibility, Wei Xun and his team accelerated the speed of climbing the platform. Enki is an important part of Apsu's revenge and a key target to contain Marduk. They killed Enki's children here to make him contract a terminal disease and weaken his divine power, which is not for the puppeteer to sit back and enjoy the fruits of his labor. The puppeteer's current position is unclear. Once Enki falls into her hands and becomes her puppet, there may be other changes.
Little Angel George had just swallowed two divine heart energies with difficulty, and then he was almost stuffed to death by six more. The little man who was originally the size of a palm also became much bigger. Wei Xun asked him to continue eating on the way.
"Enki is likely to be on the upper floors of the Babel Tower. He met the puppeteer. Either the puppeteer climbed to the top without any obstacles, or Enki planned to deal with you and met the puppeteer on the way down."
The astrologer flapped the flaming wings behind him and flew very fast. In a blink of an eye, they reached the seventh floor from the sixth platform, and then reached the spiral staircase connecting the seventh and eighth platforms.
"I am more inclined to the former. I have heard some rumors about the Babel Tower."
"This Babel Tower only has a very narrow spiral staircase on the outer wall that can reach the top. Whether it is a god or a man, only one person can walk this road alone."
As they spoke, they climbed to the top of the eighth platform. The scarlet blood rain was carried by the strong wind and splashed on the face like a waterfall, soaking the snow-white brick wall of the Babel Tower like a rose-colored mist. The first thing everyone sees when they climb to the top of the eighth-floor platform is definitely the magnificent Tower of Babel standing in the middle of the platform and reaching the sky. It gets narrower as you go up, but the Tower of Babel is too high and no one can see its end. It doesn't look like a building that can be created by human power at all.
There is only a winding spiral path like a rose vine winding around the outer wall of the Tower of Babel, winding up in circles. This is the only way to climb up the Tower of Babel. When Wei Xun saw it for the first time, he suddenly remembered the bottomless pit he saw in the Jinlunga Great Crack and the unfathomable cenote in the depths of northern Tibet. There is also only a spiral path carved along the pit wall, but the path of the Tower of Babel goes up, and the path of the bottomless pit goes down.
In an instant, Wei Xun thought of a lot, his thoughts flew far away, and all kinds of strange and twisted pictures flashed before his eyes. If the Tower of Babel was turned upside down and spiraled into the bottomless pit, would they fit together? Are the towers and mountains the same as plugs for sinkholes and ground cracks? It wasn't until Yin Yang Butterfly stood guard in front of him with a knife that Wei Xun suddenly came back to his senses and frowned.
He was distracted just now. The impact of pollution from the Tower of Babel on people has been revealed in a subtle way. When people see the Tower of Babel with their own eyes and are shocked, it is the opportunity for pollution to invade. And since he has the identity of a Babylonian god and 'fits' with this mythological system, more pollution will come.
But as long as he kept his mind steady, there would be no problem. Wei Xun focused all his attention on the enemy in front of him. The top of the eighth floor of the entire high platform was almost entirely filled with densely packed monsters, some like fish and some like sheep. They roared violently in the rain of blood from the fall of the gods, and their distorted and harsh sounds merged into the core pollution of the Tower of Babel. At that moment, a large amount of pollution was invisible. The wind swept through everyone's brains, causing their world to lose all normal sounds, as if their ears were deafened by bombardment. The buzzing chaotic silence was mixed with a large number of distorted and harsh sounds.
No one wanted to hear it, but no one could escape it. The divine power filled with twisted resentment was aggravated by the rain of blood from the gods, which aggravated the pollution. Luckily for the astrologer and Wei Xun, who had already taken precautions, the Yin-Yang Butterfly almost returned to zero in an instant. , the silver-purple tour guide's cloak bloomed like a flower in the strong wind, and huge butterfly wings with bright colors spread out behind him. The orange-red butterfly wings trembled slightly, as if the rays of the sun were condensed, and fine gold powder fell down during the trembling. Like a dream.
However, these gold powders were highly poisonous scale powders, and most of the densely packed beasts around them were instantly reduced in number. When they touched the scale powder, they all turned into thick plasma before even making a sound. Even the astrologer's face changed slightly when he saw this terrible poison. The good news is that the Yin Yang Butterfly still has reason, and the scale powder has not forgotten their side.
The bad news is that these beasts that turned into blood and mud soon resurrected in groups. Dozens and hundreds of flesh and blood corpses were twisted and piled together. The resulting flesh and blood monsters were hundreds of times more terrifying and powerful than before, and they also 'evolved'. Releasing the power of the poison, killing like this will not only waste time, but also bring no benefits. Sooner or later, people will die of exhaustion.
"Go to the temple."
Wei Xun made a decision immediately: "Fish and sheep are the characters of Enki, and Marduk is the son of Enki. These beasts must be related to the temple."
The alienation of the Yin-Yang Butterfly is very powerful, but the butcher guide has been in the alienated state all year round, and he has long been accustomed to this state and can maintain his sanity for a longer period of time. Without wasting time, the Yin-Yang butterfly opened the way, the astrologer cut off the rear, Wei Xun took care of it, the little angel George sang a hymn that could block some pollution, and the three of them cleared a road to the temple under the Tower of Babel. , arrived at the temple as quickly as possible.
The moment they stepped into the temple, everyone was soaked in plasma, as if they had struggled out of a swamp of blood. Fortunately, Wei Xun's prediction was good. The moment he stepped into the temple, the distorted beasts stood up and no longer dared to chase them. They didn't even dare to get too close to the temple. They all looked extremely scared.
“The gods of Babylon are arrogant and cruel, they treat people with disdain, and they treat wild beasts like sand.”
Therefore, these beasts are not only loyal guardians of the temple, but also extremely fearful of God, and do not dare to step into the temple at all.
The astrologer looked around as he spoke, and his eyes fell on the gold statue of Marduk in the center of the temple. Then he frowned and walked closer to take a closer look. Wei Xun stuffed the little angel George into Yin-Yang Die's arms and asked him to sing a hymn to relieve Diezi's alienation and return to the SAN level. He also walked to the statue. He discovered the reason why the astrologer stopped at a glance - this statue that was supposed to be majestic and precious was actually covered with puppet silk, like a spider web, and countless puppet silks were buried in the statue, and it was as slow as a living thing. It squirmed, as if some kind of parasite was eating away at the statue. The facial features of the statue are also entangled with countless puppet threads, showing a twisted and painful expression, which looks creepy.
"The Puppet Master was here."
As the astrologer spoke, many puppet threads trembled slightly with his breathing, floating and protruding outwards. They looked like long hairs floating in the air due to static electricity, but they were more flexible and weird, sending chills down people's spines. Not only in the air, there was also a faint rustling sound in the bricks under his feet. The astrologer frowned and plucked out a feather and flicked it like a dart. The fire feather was like a sharp blade and chopped up the floor tiles not far from his feet. At that moment, densely packed puppet threads spurted out, pouring out like wireworms and eggs on the ground, making people's scalp numb.
This Marduk temple has been completely eroded by the puppet master and can no longer be taken. The astrologer's flames burned away the puppet threads that dared to come close to him. He turned sideways and looked at Wei Xun who was approaching. He was about to say something, but his eyes suddenly froze. When Wei Xun approached, these puppet silk threads seemed to sense something, and suddenly they no longer greedily spread in all directions trying to penetrate the human body, but gathered together again, and the thin puppet silk threads of different colors were woven together, like weaving. Embroidering cloth, in just a few seconds, he actually composed a 'letter' for Wei Xun, the first four words were particularly conspicuous——
[Director B’s personal introduction]
Seeing this scene, Wei Xun and the other three stayed for a while to see what the puppet master's purpose was. The letter from the puppet master was also very short, and the main theme was cooperation.
She wrote very confidently in the letter, saying that by the time Director Bing reads the letter, she should have already controlled Enki, the God of Earth. But the puppet master is willing to give him the God of the Earth, and she will also help Director B when he gets through the entire Tower of Babel.
If she could really work with Director C, she would not want the Tower of Babel, nor the Black Widow or George's life.
[Why is the pollution at 30 degrees north latitude comparable to the pollution at the abyss? Why are there always butterfly fragments in the journey at 30 degrees north latitude? Why is this latitude so special? All these special characteristics must have a source]
The puppet silk is woven rapidly, gradually revealing the puppeteer's shocking discovery and plan.
[I have explored the nearly destroyed Tower of Babel, and there is a kind of polluted power that is like a living thing, like a nuclear reactor, and the terrifying power makes people panic. This is not a butterfly fragment, nor a token of 30 degrees north latitude, what is it? ]
[I felt something when George died a few years ago, and I felt it more clearly after entering the tower this time. Perhaps only by destroying the journey at 30 degrees north latitude can it truly appear in the world - I want to find the real power that affects the formation of the journey at 30 degrees north latitude]
[If you come to completely destroy the Tower of Babel, I am willing to be your most loyal assistant]
