Chapter 170 Humanity and Divinity
At this time, the screen changed. At some point, Anakin, who was flying away, had arrived in the mountains in the north of the continent. Fortunately, it is summer now. Although we are in the north, it doesn't feel cold at all. The long grassland and the big trees vying to spread their branches. Animals and monsters active among the trees, as well as bursts of sultry air blowing over. It all gives a sense of summer heat, and laziness. However, all these artistic conceptions were suddenly wiped out when Anakin held his dead son in his hands and Magella's body landed.
When Anakin's feet stepped from mid-air to the top of the hillside. The surrounding vegetation and weeds that were originally thriving immediately formed a layer of frost on the green surface! And the fertile land was immediately frozen stiff. The moisture in it immediately turned into white frost and mixed with the black soil.
Not only that, the area became wider and wider, and soon the trees in the distance turned white one by one. Some squirrels that were still eating pine cones didn't even have time to react, so they became stiff and fell to the ground like stones. In the blink of an eye, centered on where Anakin landed, the forest within ten miles had turned into a blanket of snow-white. The freezing coldness warns any creature that attempts to enter this dead land.
"My son...my son! Why did it become like this!" Looking at Magella's body lying on the frost-covered ground. There were actually a few tears in Anakin's eyes. Family, in human cognition, is always the warmest and most relaxing place. Because family members are the first people of the same kind that humans get to know in their lives, and they are also the closest people to them. Over time, these similar people will give help and support that ordinary people will not give. Blood is thicker than water, which is a manifestation of this kind of understanding. Anakin didn't notice that he had once again become the mediocre humans he looked down on.
Love, family, warmth. The moment this son appeared, the things he thought he had abandoned were like vines, climbing up his body from dark corners in the spring breeze. No effort, no return. Anakin originally understood this truth. But understanding is one thing, implementing it is another. In the face of gaining absolute strength, the loss of humanity and self-expansion are the price. Now that Anakin has once again begun to pick up his humanity that was left on the road, the price he will pay will be power. Because everything is fair.
If Anakin can wake up and kill his biological son, then he has the qualifications to break away from humanity and advance to a higher level... Unfortunately, he is just this kind of thing.
"Ahhhh! I'm here to save you!" Looking at his son Magella lying on the ground, Anakin's eyes gradually became crazy. Suddenly he tore open his clothes, revealing his weird body. Ice blue crystallization covered most of his body. The only difference from Paladin is just the color.
I saw Anakin raising his hands high, and a large amount of ice blue energy poured into his palms. Press down on Magella's body fiercely! Unparalleled energy poured into Magella's body like a waste, but no matter how powerful the power was, it was still an extremely high existence. Except for the gods who dominate the world, no one can resurrect the dead! Even the necromancers who consider themselves to be studying souls only resurrect corpses and let the soul fragments remaining in the corpses dominate the defective corpses. It can also be regarded as a poor imitation of the Creator.
To no avail! No matter how much energy was poured into Magella's body, it was still to no avail! Anakin's face was getting worse and worse, and his eyes had now turned icy blue. Completely broken, he suddenly let go of his hands and shouted desperately at the sky: "Gods! I beg you, I beg you for the first time! Give my son's life back, please!"...,
Boom! As if the gods were really responding to Anakin, the originally clear sky was suddenly filled with dark clouds. Two huge holes suddenly opened from the rolling black clouds. Sacred white light slowly casts from the hollow. A feeling of awe that makes all living things sweep across this cold land. Especially the white light cast by the two huge white holes surrounded by dark clouds. Making it look particularly dazzling at such a gloomy time.
From a distance, it looks as spectacular as two light pillars as big as a town connecting from the sky to the earth. On the dark clouds, as the Eye of God opened, white lightning as dense as sea water immediately flickered and climbed in the dark clouds. The chilling sense of terror and oppression caused all the creatures in this place to kneel on the ground and not dare to say a word. Even the giant monster, which is famous for its cruelty, can only hide its proud head in the cave and tremble at this moment.
"Enos!" Seeing that the gods really responded to him, Anakin was immediately excited and turned into blue light and flew into the sky. Who would have thought that as soon as Anakin flew into the air, a large piece of pure white lightning instantly covered Anakin's body! Even with such huge strength, he screamed in pain and was helplessly restrained in mid-air by lightning. "Answer me! Enos. As long as you give my son's life back, I will give you whatever you want!" But what made Anakin feel bad was a silent silence.
"Why don't you speak? Why don't you speak? Answer me!" Anakin roared at Enos with a ferocious look on his face as the sky covered his head. However, Enos, who was completely rational and almost cruel, remained silent. Suddenly, Anakin lowered his head as if he felt something. However, he suddenly saw a translucent Magella floating out of the corpse. It was vaguely visible that the white light emanating from Enos's empty eyes was pulling his Magella's soul slowly up into the sky. Not only was Anakin not surprised when he saw this scene, but he looked desperate when he saw Magellan's soul was confused! "Enos! You want to eat my son's soul! Do you want him to become the nourishment in your belly!"
Facing Anakin's questioning, Magella's soul was still rising slowly, but Enos actually spoke. The language spoken was not any language Paladin knew! However, he understands it! Paladin, who was watching all this in a daze, understood that this might be the ability that the runes, the language known as God, brought to him.
At this moment, the white light in Enos's huge and endless blank eyes brightened slightly, and God's words spread to all directions: "This is... my priesthood. Those who believe in me will belong to me after death." "Belong to you. ? Will I be eaten by you? Enos, don’t force me!" Watching his son’s soul float high into the sky, passing in front of his eyes and rising straight into the huge and glorious white hole. He didn't pay attention to the huge sense of oppression and fierce wind coming from the sky. When he was about to go to rescue his son, the annoying lightning ruthlessly blocked his steps again. A powerful force is as vulnerable as a fragile leaf in front of this tiny lightning.
"No, no, no!" The long-lost blood flowed from his eyes, and Anakin, whose face was deathly pale, finally raised his head and shouted miserably: "I give up, I give up this power! As a price, I want to save my son. ! This is a deal, using the countless souls swallowed in this body in exchange for my son! This is a glimmer of hope allowed by the laws of the world, this is an opportunity that all living beings are born with! You can't refuse me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Magella's soul, which was slowly rising into the Eye of God, suddenly stopped. The still emotionless, rational and chilling voice came again: "The law allows it, it is my priesthood...the price has been exchanged." The huge voice that swept the entire mountain gradually stopped. The huge white crystals in the sky were like two crystals embedded in the dark clouds, and the densely packed white lightning was nowhere to be seen. suddenly! A ray of white light hit Magella's soul in mid-air. The latter immediately flew back to the ground and hit Magella's body on the ground.
With his amazing eyesight, Anakin, who was hanging high in the air, saw the corpse's chest gradually rising and falling, and then he breathed a sigh of relief. Letting the blood and tears from the corners of his eyes continue to flow, a smile without regret appeared on his face. Looking up at the extremely glorious Enos. Slowly closed his eyes...
Do you regret it? Anakin closed his eyes and felt no regret. He abandoned love and affection for strength, and finally exchanged strength for these abandoned things. He was content, content to die as a human being. Death at the hands of gods. Perhaps in his subconscious mind, becoming the supreme being was not as much aspiration as he imagined. What he really desires may be just a trivial care and confidence. Maybe the original study of the scrolls was just wishful thinking. Being a humble human being is actually better than imagined... Here are Anakin's real thoughts...
That's why he has to die here.
Narrow and humble human beings.
