only god

Chapter 441

On that rebirth day, the souls who once gathered in that ancient alpine tree all ushered in a trial.

Their future whereabouts are determined by their actions during their lifetime, regardless of men, women, young or old, beliefs...

And those souls who were taken to the underworld by Nakbet, except for the souls who believed in the Lord, were still left in the kingdom of death. This is undoubtedly the mercy of God.

But because of this, before the birth of the underworld, the souls who were not taken to the underworld by Nakbet underwent the same trial, either going to heaven or going to hell.

For Silas, who is an archangel, it is not difficult to find a certain soul in the kingdom of heaven.

After seeking God's consent, Silas found Baird's lover.

The latter once committed a petty crime, but after undergoing the punishment of hell, he came to heaven. This beautiful woman has always missed Baird. Although everything in heaven satisfied her, she still couldn't give up her longing for her lover.

"So... would you like to see him again?"

Silas asked.

The answer was yes, the woman agreed to Silas's request without hesitation, and followed his arrangement ever since.

After making these preparations, the archangel Siles went to the underworld to visit Nakbet, the god of death, and his queen again.

Facing the Grim Reaper, Silas unabashedly made his request.

But this time, Nakbet showed hesitation,

"If this is within my power, then I am willing to assist you.

But letting a soul return to the human world... Even if it is Baird, this is against the rules of the underworld. "

Nakbet, the god of death, had a very reasonable reason for his refusal, but unlike him, his queen tried his best to ask Nakbet to agree.

"Even if it violates the rules of the underworld, it's for legitimate reasons, not because you intend to be selfish. What's more, how can a walking dead hero be called a hero?"

Esrona persuaded the god of death, Nakbet,

"My king, you know that I don't have many hobbies. I'm not good at singing and dancing, and I don't have any feeling for spinning. Only sleep and soul can make me more happy in boring days."

Faced with the queen's persuasion, Nakbet, the god of death, hesitated for a while. In this underworld, he is the supreme king, but he is not the only administrator. There are nine judges here, and it is they who rule the whereabouts of thousands of souls in the underworld.

Moreover, the nine judges were all upright and had never practiced favoritism. Even if Nakbet wanted to spare Baird, the nine judges would not agree.

However, Schillers seems to have already considered this part.

Just listen to the Archangel say:

"Honorable Nakbet, I know what you are worried about.

Since the judges of the underworld will not cheat for personal gain, why not let them make another judgment? "

Nakbet straightened up from the throne and asked in surprise:

"Another verdict?
What does it mean? "

Silas said slowly:

"Sentence him...exile from the underworld."

Exiled from the underworld...

Naqbet and the Inquisitors never instituted such a punishment.

"Your idea is very good, but they may not agree, and there is no such punishment in the underworld."

Nakbet sat back on the throne.

At this time, the queen beside him suddenly said:

"It can be set up now, can't it?"

Nakbet smiled wryly:
"Then why should it be established?"

Esrona slowly spit out her thoughts,

"I recalled that Baird's death was due to the bet made by the gods,

This is an innocent disaster.

Even the gods could not help but sympathize with what happened to him.

That being the case, why not gamble again.

Make Bald bet with you and the Inquisitors, and your bet is to banish him from the underworld. "

At this moment, Nakbet fell into thinking because of the queen's words. As Esrona said, Baird's death was an accidental disaster, which originated from Slae's tricks, which undoubtedly made the gods sympathize with his situation.

However, reason alone cannot convince the judges, so Esrona wants to make a bet with the judges and tie them to a boat. Only in this way can she achieve her goal.

"However, how do we get those judges to agree to the bet? Agree to a... mortal soul bet."

Nakbet murmured to himself, he felt a bit tricky,
"Baird can't afford the stakes he deserves."

Under the queen's patient persuasion, the god of death has been shaken a little.

"It takes a bet that's compelling enough, and a little outside pressure."

Archangel Silas said slowly,

"And I had a better idea.

It is not Baird who is betting with you, but my archangel Siles is betting with you.

Believe me, I have enough stakes to get them tempted. "

Nakbet was taken aback for a moment, he slowly realized something,
"If the Archangel has enough stakes...

But there is still one problem... Exile from the underworld is undoubtedly pardoning him, how can we convince the judges that this is not pardon? "

Just listen to Silas slowly say:

"My request is that Baird be sentenced to death in exile.

Because he will commit a felony in the future, and the crime is extremely heinous, too numerous to write down, and unforgivable, there is no place for him in the underworld. "

Silas, the archangel, understands the heart,

In the trials of those underworld judges, it is extremely difficult to reduce a person's crime, but it is easy to increase a person's punishment.

"Honorable Nakbet, I need your cooperation, and I need your help to tell a little lie to convince the judges that exile from the underworld is the most terrifying punishment."

......................................................

After visiting Nakbet and making a preliminary plan on how to lure the judges to agree to the bet, Siles began to arrange the plan about Baird.

The purpose of the archangel is always to observe the deepest part of the soul - the collective subconscious, and to find the illusory temple that Esrona said.

"The collective subconscious...is a collective spirit, an instinct shared by all people in the world.

They will be expressed in various ways, such as art, songs, beliefs, language...worship of heroes, respect for goodness. "

Schillers tried to sum it up through the observations of these times.

The collective subconscious, like the collective logos, is the collective rationality, law, destiny...

In this world, is there anything that can reflect collective rationality, laws, destiny, etc.?
"myth…

Belong to the myth of the collective! "

Mythology can belong to a region, a country, a race, or even a world, but it does not belong to the creation of individuals.

When people come together to form a collective, their stories are told and become myths.

Myths are manifestations of the collective unconscious.

"So... the world walks like a myth."

Schillers captures the key points and builds a mythological stage step by step.

What are the most common myths related to?
Taboos...and the desire to break them...

This is the manifestation of the collective unconscious, this is the myth, this is...

"Secret thoughts."

Silas whispered to himself, this word he got from God's memory.
