Freya is going to become a god?
Ye Xiao was full of doubts. If his soul had not been split into two halves, his shock at this moment would definitely affect Ella's prayers.
Fortunately, these two minds can be used for two purposes. Although Ella is studying through Ye Xiao's vision, she still tries her best not to think about this matter in her heart.
Is this little girl Freya such a shrewd and scheming person?
Ye Xiao thought about all sorts of things, but he never connected this girl who had firm beliefs, a stubborn personality, but also some gentleness and kindness, with the mastermind behind all this.
You might say that this girl went crazy suddenly... But along the way, the alchemy of flesh and blood, the reversal of life and death, the metal puppet with independent consciousness, the town of hope... All of this was obviously premeditated and planned.
But if it wasn't true, Ye Xiao would find it hard to believe.
He could accept that the greedy witch, the silly maid, or even the succubus from Paradise House was the mastermind, because there was something suspicious about them.
The only one was Freya... the stubborn girl who said at the Paradise House that she would save his life even if she sacrificed herself, was she pretending too? ?
Could it be that I really made a mistake this time... ?
Ye Xiao was puzzled.
But if you have to say, this doesn't seem to be completely unexpected.
Freya's sudden disappearance before being invited, and the strange scene I saw in that little house last night...
Things seemed to be heading towards this outcome.
But there are too many mysteries floating on the surface, and it is impossible to analyze them completely based on the current information alone.
Should I ask Gradia? But if the master behind that guy is really related to the Institute of Industrial Design, will she tell the truth or a lie?
Countless confusing clues and events enveloped Ye Xiao like a net. As he watched all of this unfold, it seemed as if there was something he should have noticed but he hadn't noticed it.
Under the tower, Freya continued to speak.
"Everyone present here was born innocent. But because you don't have the protection of God, you lose everything you should have."
"Some are born with disabilities, some are plagued by diseases; some are separated from their wives and children due to poverty, some struggle to survive but encounter misfortunes; some are oppressed by nobles and their property is wiped out, and some are displaced due to wars instigated by their parents..."
"You, me, and everyone present here, the future that others can reach is a fantasy that we cannot achieve no matter how hard we try."
As soon as he finished speaking, the audience fell into complete silence.
To be honest, Freya's voice, as cold as an iceberg, is not very suitable for pyramid selling. It is more suitable for the queen to give orders from a high position.
But this is a pretty good line of speech, and Ella can borrow it if she wants to start a new business in the future.
Ye Xiao made a comment.
Since it had already happened and there was no way to figure it out, he simply sat down and had fun, or at least started enjoying it.
With this change in his mindset, Ye Xiao actually began to look forward to what would happen when he became a god.
“So, here we are.”
"This is called hope. It is a paradise created by us who should be struggling in hell."
"It is the land that carries your hope for the future, and it will also become my kingdom of God."
"Everyone, stay here and join the glorious evolution together - your diseases will be cured, the cloud of death will no longer hang over you, share strength and wisdom, and I will lead you to pursue the perfection of life."
"Everyone, leave your mortal bodies behind and reunite with your relatives and friends here."
"Everyone, leave the flesh and blood of this world and stay young and strong forever."
"There will be no more oppression and war, no more poverty and hunger."
"Go beyond your weak body and embrace true evolution!"
As Freya's only words with a high tone fell, Ye Xiao felt as if the earth was shaking.
Everyone present knelt down at the same time, except Ye Xiao who quickly sat down on the ground.
A dull bell rang from the high tower, and invisible ripples seemed to stir the space.
Thousands of clouds gathered in the boundless sky, swirling and tumbling, gradually forming a huge vortex with the tower as the center.
"Boom, boom, boom"
Ye Xiao couldn't help but raise his head.
This action was harmless because Ella also raised her head.
Ella raised her head because everyone in the Cathedral Square also raised their heads.
In the sky above the imperial city, a cloud vortex that also covers the sky is slowly forming.
Like a giant thunderstorm cloud before a typhoon, it was as majestic as a mountain and slowly fell down, seeming to crush the entire Valond.
The sky and the earth changed color, the wind howled violently, and in the center of the black hole-like cloud vortex, a town built on the mountains slowly emerged, hanging upside down.
At first, Ella couldn't tell what the town with pointed buildings was. It was not until she noticed the crowded crowds around a tall tower in the center of the city that she realized it seemed to be Hope Town.
What Ye Xiao saw through the sky of Hope Town at this moment was the majestic imperial city slowly descending with the clouds. He could even see the crowded Cathedral Square in Xicheng District and the tiny white dot of the Saint.
At this moment, the two bodies seemed to meet each other's eyes through the cloud vortex in the sky, and the two cities, one above and one below, seemed like vertical mirror images, connected together by the clouds that cut through time and space.
Damn it.
Ella was confused, but luckily she didn't have to continue chanting at this time.
"The blood sacrifice of two thousand dark believers can bring about the birth of a newborn god." A slightly old voice sounded from behind her.
Ella slowly turned her head and saw High Priest Evans holding the ceremonial staff, his eyes revealing the same madness that Ye Xiao saw in the eyes of the Templar that night.
"Lord Haiweier, do you think that the blood sacrifice of a million people can create a god?"
Ella immediately tried to turn around, but she suddenly felt that her whole body could not move. She lowered her eyes slightly, and then found a huge magic circle appearing under her feet.
Of course, this was not exclusive to her. With her as the center, the ground of the entire cathedral square was like ripples caused by rain in a pond, and giant magic circles appeared one after another.
Everyone present, regardless of their ability or status, whether they were nobles, priests, commoners, or players... at this moment, they were all like petrified, unable to move an inch.
If you look closely, you will find that the skin under their clothes gradually begins to glow with metallic luster.
"I have been setting up these magic arrays for sixteen years." Evans walked to Ella and said slowly, "I started preparing from the moment I made up my mind to raise Freya."
"I'm very curious, High Priest. Why would you betray my Lord?" Ella said softly.
"I'm curious too." Evans walked up to Ella, who was motionless, and looked at the silk covering her eyes, his eyes seemed to penetrate the thin cloth, "Lord Haiweier, what exactly are you?"
Chapter 45 Countdown
For Ella, breaking free was easy as long as she wanted to.
The magic circle on the ground contained the unformed laws of God, which was overwhelming to mortals who had not yet reached transcendence, but it was nothing to Ella, who had already become a god.
But if she releases the power of the evil god, then the millions of spectators present will witness that this new Holy Maiden of Light is actually an evil god.
This is such a headache...
Although she was confused, Ella remained calm when faced with the high priest's question, "I am just an ordinary person who believes in the Holy Light."
Seeing the indifference on the half-exposed face of the girl, High Priest Evans bowed and said, "It's fine if you don't want to tell me. There's no need to worry. The only thing is that the magic circle under your feet does not have the effect of blood sacrifice. Forgive me for acting so suddenly, but if possible, I still hope that we can not interfere with each other."
Ella did not reply. Her mind was racing at the moment, trying to find a way out of the situation as quickly as possible.
Evans is obviously not a nagging villain, and he must have other purposes for talking to Ella.
Seeing that millions of people in the square are unable to move but nothing else unusual has happened, it can be imagined that the blood sacrifice has not officially begun yet.
Then it was obvious that Evans was delaying time, trying to postpone or eliminate the results of Ella's interference.
Several huge magic arrays covering the square slowly moved, forming a circular barrier that completely surrounded the entire temple.
To maintain a magic array of this size, there must be a huge source of magical power. Although Evans is an extraordinary person, he is far from meeting this requirement.
And if it is driven by burying a large number of magic crystals, then other people in the temple should not have been unaware of it for all these years.
Thinking of this, Ye Xiao on the other side raised his head.
At this moment, everyone around him prostrated themselves on the ground respectfully, paying homage to the new god who was about to be born.
Freya was wearing a gorgeous white dress that looked like a wedding gown and was slowly floating in the air. She had her hands slightly opened and her neck slightly tilted back. As she made her declaration, she seemed to be absorbing the star-like particles falling from the sky.
These particles came from the top of the tall tower. At this moment, the spire there was like a strange blue sun emitting dazzling light.
This breakthrough in space between the two cities cannot be just for the spectacular scenery; there must be a purpose behind it.
If I'm not mistaken, the operation of the magic circle in the Cathedral Square probably relies on this tower to supply magic power.
Just when Ye Xiao was thinking of something, the system issued a task accordingly:
[Mission Triggered: Land of Hope]
[Mission Brief: You come to Hope Town to witness the birth of a new god and the extinction of millions of lives. As a traveler from another world, what choice will you make? ]
[Mission Difficulty: Extremely Difficult]
[Task Reward: Gold Coins*3500, General Points*3000]
[Branch 1-Prevent God's Descent: Crown of Mammon, Original Sin Society reputation*2000, Temple reputation*1000, Loren reputation*2000, -Hope Town reputation*10000]
[Branch 2 - Assisting God's Descent: Reality of Evolution, Hope Town Reputation*5000, Original Sin Society Reputation*500, - Temple Reputation*3000, - Loren Reputation*2000]
[Countdown to God’s Descent: 9:56]
Wow, there are branches.
It seems that as long as there is a reward, it will be counted as a quest line, even if choosing that line will cause the death of millions of people. Ye Xiao couldn't help but think that it was no wonder that most of the top players in the previous life were more cold-blooded.
But the Original Sin Society is also quite interesting. It is the only one that gives positive reputation no matter what choice you make. I don’t know why.
There is no doubt that after briefly reading the mission, Ye Xiao chose the path of "stopping the God from descending" without any hesitation.
Li Cheng, Nia and the others are still in the Cathedral Square, so Ye Xiao would never choose to sacrifice them in blood.
He bent his body a little bit, lowered his waist as much as possible and avoided the crowd. Fortunately, these devout residents of Hope Town were all curled up on the ground like dehydrated crayfish and didn't even look at him.
The system also considerately gave Ye Xiao a countdown, which allowed him to take action without being too anxious because he didn't know when the descent of God would occur.
This is good. You know, if Ye Xiao is still taking a detour and a divine descent happens, that would be very complicated.
In order to avoid Freya who was chanting at the main entrance of the tower, Ye Xiao took great pains to walk around for a long distance before reaching the side of the tower.
After all, Ye Xiaoguang only sensed the exaggerated magic power that was constantly gathering around the other party, and he had no confidence in defeating Freya, who was now in some SP form that God knows what.
【9: 04】
Unfortunately, there were also some alchemy guards guarding the gate on the side. They were made of metal armor and although they were also crawling on the ground, their bodies were blocking the side door.
Come to think of it, if one could just touch up and kick the magic circle, then this task wouldn't be labeled as "extremely difficult".
Ye Xiao sighed, touched the hilt of the knife at his waist and slowly walked forward.
But at this moment, a loud roar filled his eardrums, and the sudden huge wind pressure made Ye Xiao involuntarily put his hands on his body and take a few steps back.
A gigantic beast flapping its metal wings slowly landed on the ground. Its head was a ferocious lion with a circle of golden mane, and its sturdy limbs were embedded with cold steel claws. Its swaying long tail was wrapped in segments of carapace, with a sharp black needle at the tip.
"Roar!!!"
The scorpion-tailed lion roared at Ye Xiao who was near the side door, and the sound waves raised a cloud of dust. At the same time, several alchemy guards who were crawling on the ground stood up with halberds in their hands, lined up in an orderly manner, with the tips of the halberds pointing directly at Ye Xiao.
No wonder in the past, those who dared to complete difficult tasks alone were generally assassins.
Ye Xiao stuffed a bottle of stamina-enhancing medicine into his mouth. He thought that he should learn some stealth skills when he returned, otherwise who could bear it if every mission triggered this kind of chaos?
Seeing the intruders ready to move ahead, the alchemist guard immediately issued a warning: "Back off, human! The abode of the gods is ahead..."
However, before it could finish its voice, the long knife in Ye Xiao's hand had already drawn an arc and chopped diagonally from its shoulder to its waist.
The hard armor was split in half like a piece of paper being cut.
"Roar!" The scorpion-tailed lion raised its front paw and slapped down, but its hard nails only caught a lump of broken metal.
The beast's eyes swept across the ground and immediately moved up, just in time to see a foot stepping on the tip of its nose.
Ye Xiao stepped on the scorpion-tailed lion's nose and slashed it with his sword. The sword light in a straight line cut the bridge of the lion's nose and accurately scratched its two eyeballs as big as copper bells.
Blood splattered and the monster roared miserably in pain.
At this moment, Freya, who was floating quietly in the air at the main gate, seemed to realize it belatedly. She stopped chanting and threw out a bit of starlight in her hand.
At the same time, Ye Xiao discovered that the system countdown strangely went back ten seconds. The scorpion-tailed lion, whose eyes were blinded by him, suddenly erupted with a huge amount of energy, which caught him off guard and flew several meters away.
