Abyss Train

Chapter 755 Interlude

  Foreword:

Life is like the ocean, only those with a strong will can reach the other side.

—Karl Marx

With the last three dumplings in my pocket——

——Billy Horn slowly climbed down the boat, slid down the rope ladder to the ice, and stomped his feet carefully before daring to take a step forward.

Fayi threw down two bundles of cloth from the warehouse and prepared to unpack the goods, wearing some of them to keep warm and using the other to make a fire to keep warm.

Mr. Judas was observing the wind direction, trying to figure out the direction. Everything was so simple and natural, all for the sake of survival.

The glutinous rice grains were frozen dry and hard. When the teeth cracked them, it was not obvious at first, but after a few bites, they felt dry and bitter. When Billy tasted the fatty pork inside, he felt that he was eating "food" instead of wax, stone or ice.

He took two layers of cloth from Fayi, wrapped them around his body and neck, and followed Judah silently.

He thought to himself - maybe it won't be long before he can say goodbye to this hard life of sleeping in the open air.

If you pay a little attention, you will see that the two blood-feeding monsters were carrying Billy Horn on their backs when they were enjoying human flesh. Judas was carrying a large wooden barrel. After walking five or six hundred meters, he had to eat something to maintain his body temperature - the body temperature of blood-feeding monsters is much lower than that of Homo sapiens. Their metabolic level determines the power consumption and output of their bodies, so they have to keep filling their stomachs with human flesh.

The Blood Eagles that Billy had brought back had very little food left. In just over an hour, Judah and Fayi ate fourteen kilograms of meat, all of which were dehydrated, highly pure hybrid essences - they had already shown some bestial characteristics.

A part of the gene chain of the fishman was forcibly embedded in Judah's body, and eating the blood eagle monster was only a stopgap measure. In fact, Judah had long wanted to kill the boatman, or get rid of Foyanini quietly, otherwise Fayi and he would not have suitable food to eat, and would slowly turn into a half-fish, half-eagle mixed-blood monster, and become a strange Chimaera hybrid.

Thanks also to this snow, thanks to this ice vein, it brings both good and bad luck.

If Judah could not find a suitable reason to kill the boatman, he would fall into another dilemma.

——Either eat Billy Horn, or Faye Frosalin may turn against the priest because of this, but it will not affect the great cause of Dagda's Cauldron. No matter how much the little rose cries, it is no match for the order of the goddess Io.

- Either eat Fayi Frosalin, which would only consume the essence of a rose fairy. Goddess Io would use the power of [divine gift] to resurrect her again, but given the current environment, the "new Fayi" would definitely not be able to help in a short period of time. She would have to cross the mountains and ridges and come to the territory of Chen State again.

——The last option is to sacrifice yourself, make yourself into a human meatball, and stuff it into Fayi Frosalin's mouth.

[God’s Will] is like a save point for Judah.

As long as Fayi Frosalin, the soul power emitter, is still alive, he can get out of the Rose Fairy's belly.

However, it is impossible to verify whether the person who came back to life was still Judas.

If Fayi Frosalin dies, she will be "reborn" again through the psychic skills of the Lord of Cinder. In fact, it is the same method as Judas' resurrection. Another ignorant little girl is pulled from the vast parallel universe, and her spirit is gradually replicated and merged, turning the little rose in the parallel universe into Fayi of FE33031.

Billy the Kid was right.

——The girlfriend with whom he had physical intimacy and pure love is actually dead. FF, who is now living in the world, is just a tiny projection of the goddess Io in the secular world.

This shadow has thousands of variations, but no two are exactly the same. It is like the powerful spirit of the goddess Io turning into a ghost, and she keeps choosing one host after another to possess - these "FFs" are like the game accounts of the goddess Io. When they are captured into the world of FE33031, they must accept the brainwashing transformation of the player Io.

What about Judas who was summoned by [Divine Grant]?

Is he the same person as before? Does he have the consciousness of the original owner?

The answer is vague, and even Goddess Io cannot explain it clearly, so there is no way to know the truth.

This man-eating sun has a strong attraction that can snatch away most of the spirits on the Shambhala continent.

——These spirits should have returned to the original seed, merged with Mother Earth again, turned into free and uncertain spirit elements and spirit particles, turned into the strong magnetic and electric fields of iron-nickel nuclei, and turned into a state of [both one and all].

In the field of metaphysics, this is the repetitive reincarnation of all things in nature, it is hell and heaven, it is the underworld and the sanctuary, it is the thirty-three heavens and the eighteen levels of hell, it is the six realms of reincarnation and Brahma's dream.

In the field of psychic science, this kind of spirit that returns to nature is like the material taken from the earth by all living things, and will eventually be returned to the earth - that is, the organism completely stops moving after death, and the corpse is stripped of its essence one by one, eaten by wild beasts, eroded by decomposers, or sent back to the atmosphere prematurely due to the cremation process and becomes a [malfunctioning] state.

Goddess Io is a typical [Monsoon Cinder King]. She possesses powerful electromagnetic force and incredible thermal power. She can illuminate the entire Pompeii Sea and fly a full circle around Shambhala in Eureka and even Dusk Pass. Her age can almost represent human civilization itself.

The part of the spirit she snatched can be turned into the energy needed for the fusion reaction of the Monsoon Cinder King, and can also be precisely operated through [divine gift] to [infuse spirit] into the physical body - FF versions of different eras, ages and personalities will all undergo the [divine gift] soul-infusing operation and become an ogre with a relatively stable personality and gradually sound memory, and live her short life according to the wishes of the goddess Io.

Take Midas, the Firewood King, for example. After he turned into the sun, he still had to land regularly, find a suitable person to add fire, and absorb the spirits from the firewood to maintain the burning state - this cycle is generally about two and a half months.

The Nest Fire King of the Hedland Royal Hotel is weaker. He has to land almost every day and is just the "sunrise and sunset" of a city. His eating habits are very regular. He eats two meals a day and eats two criminals.

Back to what was mentioned above -

——Goddess Io was also unable to distinguish the relationship between soul and consciousness.

What is the relationship between this new Judas and the previous Judas?

It is possible that only the memory part of the two of them, and only the configuration of their soul power is exactly the same.

According to the most basic metaphysical theory, flesh and blood, spirit, a sound and healthy body and brain neural structure, both support the existence of the spirit. When the body changes, the mental state will also change, and the spirit will naturally be affected, just like the relationship between water and a container.

As a token of power, the elixir can change the state of the container, allowing the container to slowly adapt to the shape of water. This method can allow Judah to quickly take up his post and become a golden worker for the Dagda's Cauldron Trade Agreement.

The answer given by [Tian Shou] was very cruel. To Judah, he was just the totem incarnation of the Guiyi religion.

Just like a company recruiting, they need Judas to master certain skills. As for who Judas is, which school he graduated from, and where he comes from, these are not important. When he enters the society, Goddess Io only sees whether Judas's skills are qualified and whether he can support the position of the leader of the Immortal Alliance. If he is not qualified, he will need to use magic pills to transform his flesh and spirit and go through a set of training procedures.

Judah's life and death are not important to the Dagda's Cauldron project. Just like the corporate rules he talked about himself -

——The best employees and the best bosses all pay attention to functionality and replaceability.

The leader of the Immortal Alliance can be replaced at any time, and the group cannot be leaderless. Transmigraters like Wang Damin are also talents that Goddess Io gave to Judah using [divine gift]. As long as Judah can accept these talents and the management cost is within the acceptable range, Goddess Io will consider any ogre he wants and send it to him slowly.

Generally, every fifty years or so, Ao would send a stranger from another world to Shambhala.

She could not use this power recklessly and openly. The Lord of Fire knew that there seemed to be an unspeakable restraint in the vast universe, which was unconditionally and unlimitedly spying on the changes in every timeline and observing every source of powerful psychic energy.

It was the Hound of Tindalos, her greatest fear.

Apart from FF and Judas who were able to use [God’s Gift] to be resurrected and reborn, there was no one else so lucky.

Io once wanted to conduct a psychic experiment to accelerate the cycle of life and death in Shambhala and create an extremely unstable destructive factor to transform the ecology.

She needed to increase the speed of Shambhala's cannibalism, and wanted more spirits to become her spirit sons and spirit elements, and become her psychic energy. This astral communication brought Wood Prak to FE33031. The goddess Io, wearing the skin of the goat-headed demon Baphomet, signed a contract with the traverser.

We have already seen the contents of the contract. This ancient one possesses immortal power every Saturday and is deeply bound to the magic contract of the goddess Io.

At first, the goddess Io believed that an immortal king would be able to catalyze a dynasty with extremely high efficiency in cannibalism. The times would stagnate with this king, and would remain forever in a state of decay but not death. Humans would go in and out of this flesh and blood mill, experiencing birth and death repeatedly - but Wood Pluck handed in an answer sheet with a score of zero.

Later, Io no longer dared to sign a new contract, and was unwilling to sign any additional treaties with the time travelers in private. It was not until Judah brought the Dagda's Cauldron to negotiate terms that she felt she could do it again.

The almighty wishing cup made the sun yearn for it. Perhaps with the power of wishing, she could enter the next stage, from simply increasing her spiritual power to a higher level, gaining a broader vision. Perhaps through this path, she could gain the power to compete with the Hound of Tindalos.

Transcend time and space, escape from the universe, and become a psychic god in the cosmic sense, instead of hiding in the flesh and blood of the earth and being a pitiful parasite.

Let's move the camera forward, yes! FE204863! Stop shooting the fucking sun! Can't you feel the lens melting?

Oops! As you saw and heard in the interlude, all the information you can get is that we are dealing with the goddess Io, also known as Tindalos Hounds Temporal Administration Case File 31, a Category potential psychic out-of-control hazard target.

Sixty-three is my partner. He is recording and filming the whole process, focusing on every major event.

And I have been writing a diary for my boss, of course, just like the passengers have to write diaries for their kittens, except that they record spiritual disasters, while we, the workers with the ability to travel through time, have heavier responsibilities on our shoulders.

If [God's Gift] can be blessed by the Dagda's Cauldron, its psychic power scale, measured in human beings, should reach about 4.3 million times. In terms of radiation measurement, it is only the energy of a tactical nuclear warhead.

Even though it would be difficult to blow up a small hill with such a small amount of energy, a good horse deserves a good saddle - there are so many things that [Tian Shou] can do.

I'm afraid that Goddess Io will not be able to get over it for a while, and will use the most basic method of equivalent exchange to bring in 33031 million traversers with excellent psychic talents from another world. The material universe of FE will suffer an unimaginable destructive impact.

This is the fourth type of natural disaster, and it is a madman who has crossed the boundaries of time and space and was randomly captured from various time points - if the people in 2024 were sent back to 500 years ago, we would also be considered madmen in ancient times, that's how it is said.

Different moral concepts, values, and cultural concepts will quickly intensify and brew the pure wine of violence.

Not only Shambhala, but also the Earth in the material plane of FE33031 will experience all kinds of natural and man-made disasters. According to a one in ten thousand probability, as long as the spiritual energy and soul power of these million time travelers are related to [time], a swollen tumor of time will be born in this parallel universe.

The 10086st, which corresponds to the rd, will have the st modification, st MODE①, ②, ③, ④ and even and other different branches——

——At least last time, when they ran to the plane to play with bombs, this turbulent universe had experienced at least sixteen space-time disturbances.

If you still don’t understand the seriousness of the matter, let me give you a simple example:

——There are thousands of resources in the world. If you want to find a suitable veteran artist with both moral integrity and artistic talent, you have to spend a lot of effort. If this teacher produces too many films, you may never get the number you want, because you simply cannot find the information you want.

This kind of disaster caused by the concept of time and space is the same. It is similar to the concept of entropy increase in thermodynamics and is the cancer of the universe.

  But please rest assured, we will keep following up and observing. Okay, Sixty-three, stop filming me! Do you want your boss to look at my big cat face every day? ! Send the camera back!

Since the death of Johnny Conquer, Judas' defeat in various districts of the underworld has been sealed. He has been beaten by a barrage of quick punches, leaving him powerless to fight back. This omen lasted until Pellerini returned to Lion King Avenue again, and the Falcon of the Immortal tried to make a comeback.

The response to the alliance was a series of intelligence wars centered around [Remix]. By now, Judah was doomed to fail, and there was almost no suspense.

Camera No. 63 locked onto Gloria Sebastian. The falling of this feather represented that Mr. Judas would slowly accept his failure and slowly face death.

Billy Horn and Foianini are the weavers of destiny. These two crucial stitches are about to add the last few threads, which will gradually gather together to become a cocoon and then emerge as a butterfly.

Like the sisters Flavia and Duran, the brothers Billy and Foianini could have had a good ending even if they had just popped some champagne at halftime.

"How about it?"

Before entering the forest——

——Judas extends an olive branch to Billy Horn.

"Want to try it?"

He put aside all his concerns and showed the purple meatball in his palm. He knew that now was the best time, just when Billy Horn's mind was shaken and he was in a vulnerable state controlled by desire. Just like you who are hungry when you see the new card pool open, with only two single draws, the card face is easy to rush and the strength is high, you can't resist the temptation of the blue-green modifier at all!

Billy Horn's face froze. When he saw the human flesh in Judas's palm, he was shocked and angry - but he had a strong fantasy in his mind.

Anyway, Fuyanini is already dead, and that damn Quick Sword Corps didn’t send anyone to pick him up.

  Aohen Mingde doesn't understand my difficulties at all. No one else can do better than me, right?

Being able to get off the ship alive is a miracle in itself.

Why do I feel so tired? Why!

He looked at FF again——

——Does it matter who this woman is? Do I really care that much?

  I just want someone to hang out with, and I want to fuck her! Yes, I just want to find a woman to fuck hard!

I can eat meat with Judah. ​​He has been helping me.

He gave me a woman, treated my injuries, gave me food to eat, and will give me money in the future. Maybe he will give me freedom?

Billy Horn, why did you join the War Gang?

  Because the Warband is strong! The Nameless is stronger than it, so you became the gunsmith's apprentice!

Chanting along with the gunsmith is also a ritual, and chanting along with the Crazy Butterfly Holy Church is also a ritual.

  Isn't it the same thing? Isn't it the same thing?

"Fuck you!" Billy Horn cursed, "You want me to eat human flesh?!"

Judah was not surprised at all, but did not take the ball back. He still spread out his palm and looked at Billy with sincere eyes.

"You ate the last zongzi, Billy. I can't help it. It's freezing cold. Where can I find meat for you?"

Although he cursed, Billy Horn's heart had already become weak.

He lost the support of his spiritual strength and collapsed amidst repeated disillusionment.

This is also the cruelest part of fantasy——

——When the dreamy soap bubbles burst one by one.

Death of Foianini.

The gunsmith's death as a spiritual totem.

FF's death as a soulmate.

Family, friendship and love, these three pillars have always supported his spine, but now they are all broken. He needs new sustenance and a strong sense of fullness to fill the emptiness in his heart.

Billy Horn slowly reached out his hand.

Judas didn't push, just nodded slightly.

"Nobody can blame you, Billy, you can't help it—I know."

Billy Horn grabbed the meatball, and it was warm to the touch—

——It seems to still retain some of the boatman’s body temperature.

Faye comforted him, "It might be a little uncomfortable to eat it for the first time, Billy."

Judah then said, "Just get through this. I've been through this, too."

It is now the year 2033 in the Gregorian calendar, and the more than 4,000 Korowai people in the New Guinea Islands are the last group of cannibals.

It has been a hundred years since the last time people were forced to eat humans due to famine.

A shadow emerged from the bushes, and Fuanini grabbed Billy's hand. His face was covered in mud, and he blew out clouds of hot mist.

Billy almost thought he was hallucinating because Fuanini came too suddenly - the guy was carrying a blood eagle monster on his back.

Fuanini was extremely anxious. The merman princess on his back had lost her mind due to hunger. She bit her own arm fiercely, crying with red eyes. Her other hand grabbed Fuanini's shoulder flesh, almost poking into the bone.

"——Bring it here!"

The human meatball passed from Judah's hand to Billy's palm, and then fell into Caiyun's mouth.

  What do you want to ask Judas?

Judas and the Rose Fairy were stunned by the blood eagle's white wings. They had never been in such close contact with the incarnation butterfly that was about to transform into its complete form at this distance, and they didn't dare to speak loudly at all.
