The audience hall could not bear the power of the two. Cracks appeared on the walls all around, spreading all the way to the ceiling that was pierced by Livi's initial arrival...
...until the load-bearing walls could no longer bear the weight and the entire audience hall collapsed on the spot.
But the collapsed bricks, stones and dust did not even pose any threat to Livi and Dullahan. Amid the billowing smoke and dust, a dull snort came from Dullahan's side.
A skeleton warhorse with its body on fire appeared from the smoke and dust. Dullahan jumped onto the horse, and the head that had just been thrown into the sky immediately fell down and landed steadily on his neck.
Blade and horse as one!
Dullahan, who had transformed into his full form, raised his arm that had turned into a spear again, but in the dancing smoke and dust on the opposite side, Livi's figure could not be seen.
The smoke naturally could not block Dullahan's sight, but the thick fog seemed to be filled with extremely high concentrations of magic power, so much so that Dullahan's perception could not penetrate it and see the changes inside.
But, now it doesn't matter anymore...
...The audience hall has been destroyed, but for Dullahan, this is an insignificant matter. He attaches so much importance to the Demon King's City because he himself is not a demon king.
As the saying goes, the more you lack something, the more you value it...
...It is precisely because he does not have the qualifications to become a demon king that he wants to prove himself by occupying the demon king's castle and the throne.
However, at this moment, for Dullahan, it doesn't matter even if the entire Demon King City collapses. In fact, it is for this reason that he chooses to fight Livi in the Demon King City.
Now, I finally see clearly the shackles that have been binding me. From today on, these shackles will no longer be able to trap me!
The Demon General Dullahan will surpass his past self at this moment, and thus bid farewell to his former self!
When he really took that step, he felt that the world was wide open and nothing could restrain him...
and so……
The raised magic spear slowly fell down, and countless messy gun shadows split out from the tip of the spear again, but it was different from the death waltz just now.
This time, the surging gun shadows connected end to end, forming one perfect "circle" after another, and these small circles were nested together to form a larger circle.
This is the cycle, the Ouroboros...
...The special skill: Urborus!
The surging gun shadows approached Livi, and in the rolling smoke and dust, the small figure finally moved...
Livi stretched out her hand and smeared the blood on her fingers on her chest...
...The inverted triangle-shaped mark was gradually erased by the movement of her fingers.
Immediately afterwards, on her lower abdomen... a brand new mark was created...
Chapter 73: The Serpent of Eden
Dullahan performed the Ouroboros stunt, while Livi reached out and smeared the holy mark on her chest with blood.
As her fingers moved, the inverted triangle-shaped stigmata on her chest gradually disappeared, and soon after, a new mark appeared on her lower abdomen.
This naturally also represents the new divine art that Livi and Star had previously researched, getting rid of the name of the hero, replacing the hero with a new concept, and giving the stigmata a new meaning.
So, what is the new concept that replaces the hero this time?
First, it must have a certain mass base, and secondly, it must have a certain degree of compatibility with Livi herself.
It was as if Star had endowed herself with the divine art of the concept of death and constructed the Scythe of Death. That was because, as a lich, she was a higher-level undead species and had a certain degree of compatibility with the concept of death.
And if other concepts are chosen, it is highly likely that they will not be constructed.
In other words, I have to choose a concept that has some connection with Livi's current succubus identity...
...Then the most crucial point is to help Livi break through her current limits, help her break through the limitations of ordinary things, and once again step into the extraordinary realm.
So, putting all the above conditions together, Livi found the "concept" that best suited her at the moment from the mythology.
"Ouroboros? What a coincidence! The new concept I chose is also 'snake'~"
Speaking of snakes, they are a very common presence in legends. Due to the snake's own behavior of shedding its skin, it is considered a symbol of reincarnation. Shedding its old form and gaining a new form, it can thus gain eternal life.
Therefore, snakes are often combined with the concepts of "life" and "repetition", especially for the "Urbros" used by Dullahan at this moment, which is the legendary Ouroboros.
However, in addition to these so-called "positive" concepts, snakes also once served as a negative concept in legends.
This is understandable. After all, the so-called myths are ultimately written and passed down by intelligent creatures, which means that everything is based on the cognition of the intelligent creatures themselves.
After all, snakes are ferocious creatures that can kill humans with their venom and latency. To be honest, even if you encounter tigers or jackals, you can still escape if there are enough people or you are lucky enough.
But if you provoke a snake, you may die without knowing how you died.
Compared with visible and tangible threats, poison, a more covert means of killing, is more likely to cause fear in people. Therefore, the fear of snakes and spiders is deeply engraved in human DNA.
Corresponding to these fears are naturally various myths and legends.
One of the most famous ones is that the snake is connected to the concept of "temptation".
Legend has it that there is an eternal paradise in heaven. The gods created a paradise without pain, and humans and countless beautiful creatures live in that paradise.
At that time, humans were no different from other animals because they had not yet developed spiritual intelligence. The gods promised humans eternal happiness and that they could have whatever they wanted in paradise, except for one thing that humans were not allowed to touch.
The so-called "forbidden fruit" is also the so-called "fruit of wisdom"...
...The rest of the story is well known.
The humans in paradise were tempted by the "snake", turned away from the gods and tasted the "forbidden fruit", thus opening their spiritual intelligence and gaining wisdom, and from then on they gained spirituality.
However, this action angered the gods, and humans were exiled to the earth. From then on, the paradise of heaven was forever closed to humans.
From that day on, humans were separated from gods and no longer had the protection of gods. Humans finally understood how difficult it was to survive.
Unlike in paradise, where people have no worries about food and clothing, on earth, without God’s power, everyone has to rely on their own hands to obtain food, clothing, shelter and transportation.
However, precisely because of this, humans no longer had to obey the commandments of the gods, and thus for the first time had the ability to decide their own destiny.
Legend has it that there are several versions after this point. Livi is too lazy to investigate this because it is likely that these things are all made up.
Even if gods exist in this world, they are by no means such abstract existences. In other words, they are gods imagined by ancient humans themselves.
Livi didn't want to comment on the similarities between this story and a certain story in the world before she traveled through time. After all, the most crucial supporting character in this story was the "snake".
In the story, the snake is the villain...
What the snake did was to make humans swallow the forbidden fruit, thereby allowing humans to gain wisdom.
If we put aside the symbolic metaphors in mythology, what snakes do is to help humans open their spiritual wisdom.
Of course, the price was that humans were driven out of the paradise. However, humans in the paradise were like wild beasts. If you must say, they were not much better than the monkeys in the zoo.
The zoo does provide food and accommodation, but it also has its own rules and regulations, which are the laws of God in paradise.
So the question is, are you willing to open your spiritual intelligence and use your own hands to seize the future, even if the future is extremely difficult, or are you willing to give up your spiritual intelligence and be raised in a paradise like a wild beast, to have a muddled but stable and smooth life?
Regardless of what answer most people choose, Livi already has her own answer.
Livi never thought that it was wrong to open the spiritual wisdom of all living beings. Although this caused punishment from God, the causal relationship between the two was problematic.
Divine punishment is brought down by gods. Isn’t it the gods who do not allow humans to possess wisdom that are the “cause” from the beginning to the end?
Without judging whether the divine punishment was right or wrong, from the perspective of cause and effect, the source cannot be traced back to the snake...
Of course, you can also say that the Fruit of Wisdom is God's treasure, and God has the right to decide whether to bestow it on humans. The reason why humans are punished is not because they have awakened their spiritual wisdom, but because they have committed the act of "taking without permission."
That makes sense in terms of cause and effect, but the same thing still applies...
...There are many versions of myths. They are all made-up stories. There is no such thing as "true" or "false". It depends on which version of the myth you are willing to accept.
As long as there is enough mass support, both positive and negative myths can be used to construct divine arts...
The same entity can even be given an image with completely opposite positions of good and evil according to the legend. The god of one nation may become a big devil in the mythology of another nation.
...if that's the case
Then let me be the "snake"...
The Eden Serpent that tempted all living things is also the ancestor of the succubus in mythology. Its name is -
"——Lilith~"
Lilith, the "Snake of Eden"!
The smoke and dust dissipated, and a heart-shaped mark shone on her lower abdomen. The white-haired lolita, with pink aura wrapped around her body, slowly opened her eyes...
Chapter 74: The So-called "Extraordinary"
Livi gave herself a new concept, which was an image constructed with the help of divine magic, "Snake of Eden" Lilith.
As the "culprit" who tempted humans to leave paradise in the legend, the Serpent of Eden is considered to be the embodiment of "desire" and "temptation". Therefore, it is also considered to be the source of the concept of "succubus" and even all "demons".
Unlike real races like the demons, the demons in legends make a living by seducing humans. It can basically be said that every human is a succubus. The origin or ancestor of all this is the great demon named "Lilith"!
This perfectly meets Livi's needs at the moment. Her true form is a succubus, and Lilith is also a succubus, so they naturally have a perfect compatibility.
Lilith is the source of the devil in legend. She also comes from the Paradise of God. In later generations, she is also known as the "Enemy of God (Antichrist)".
That is naturally a powerful existence beyond ordinary things, and it also fits Livi's current desire to break through the innate boundaries of the succubus race.
In the end, what Lilith did was to tempt humans to break taboos, but the result was that she indirectly helped humans gain wisdom. From then on, humans were no longer muddle-headed beasts, but had desires and became true "people" today.
…This legendary move also perfectly fits what Livi wants to do at this moment.
Let the ignorant "beasts" who are bound by the rules of "paradise" become real "people"...
At this point, all concepts were replaced, and the inverted triangle mark on Livi's chest disappeared, and a pink heart-shaped mark formed on her lower abdomen.
Don’t ask why it is this shape, and don’t ask why it is in this position. The answer is the choice of the world’s will!
Anyway, when Livi opened her eyes again, she couldn't help but complain.
"Hey, I thought that after the concept was changed, the body would also undergo a certain degree of change..."
Look, after Star cast his spell and transformed into the concept of the god of death, didn’t he turn into a skeleton in a black robe?
Theoretically, after Livi used her magic to transform into Lilith, she should have turned into the image of the legendary Lilith.
Livi felt that she should be a big sister with a thin waist, long legs and big breasts, so why did she still look like a white-haired loli?
Could it be that the succubus who seduced the "Son of God" to commit a great sin and can be said to be the source of all desires, is also a white-haired loli?
Or is it that the white-haired loli is the truth about the succubus?
Forget it, this is such an insignificant matter, let’s not think about him, don’t think about him…
Anyway, it's all made up by people, and it's not real history, so who cares~
...Let's get back to the battle at hand. Livi can feel that although the appearance has hardly changed, it is true.
...After completing the construction of the divine art, she transformed into the "Serpent of Eden" and seemed to have freed herself from some "restraints" that had imprisoned her body.
The power in his body that had originally found no outlet to be released was now all under his control.
While thinking this, a ouroboros formed by countless overlapping circles appeared before his eyes. Everything happened in a flash, and Dullahan's attack was already approaching.
"Here he comes..."
Once again witnessing this move that could be described as the "ultimate of mortal things", Livi was still amazed by the skills displayed in it, but this time, her feeling was completely different from the last time.
no problem……
So, Livi took a light step...
"?!"
In Dullahan's sight, Livi just took two steps towards her with extremely slow movements.
With just these two simple steps, the bullet that Dullahan had originally aimed at Livy's heart actually missed Livy's side by a hair's breadth.
Of course, this alone was not a problem, because that shot contained "infinite" changes. Ouroboros could link together infinite changes and merge "countless" into "one move"...
...That is a circle. Starting from any point on the circle, you can go around countless circles to reach any point on the circle, and the circle itself can be guaranteed not to be broken.
Therefore, this one shot can produce a myriad of follow-up moves. Dullahan swung the magic gun, and one move produced thousands of different moves, all of which attacked Livi!
However, Livy kept walking, and continued to "brush past" Dullahan's fierce attack with movements as if she was strolling in the garden.
...No, that's not the case!
Rather than saying that Livi avoided Dullahan's attack, it would be more accurate to say that Dullahan's attack involuntarily deviated at the moment of touching Livi, causing a flaw in the originally perfect circle.
