Chapter 224 Who is coming, save me
Why do you do this to me?
Feeling her weak body and the nun carrying her away beside her, Tia's heart dropped to the bottom little by little.
This was the second time in just a few days that she felt similar despair.
Last time it was because of Lynn.
But this time, it was because of the betrayal caused by the church that she had always trusted.
No.
Although it was a betrayal, what Tia seemed to see in Sister Gretel's eyes was just disgust that arose spontaneously.
Just as she said.
In the eyes of the nuns and everyone who knows about the church, his existence has always seemed to be a mistake and should not exist at all.
This time, it could be called a face-breaking close communication. For Tia, the other party took off her mask on her own initiative and had a conversation with her despicable soul hidden in this body for the first time.
For Sister Gretel and others, the "Her Majesty the Holy Lady" as she was called in the past may be more out of respect for this body shell.
After all, from the very beginning, Tia was vaguely aware of something strange about the people around her.
They are even afraid of the so-called Moonlight Sacred Scripture and Divine Descendance Ceremony.
That kind of fear is a sense of disobedience originating from the depths of the soul, as if she is just a rootless person who will disappear from this world anytime and anywhere, and no one will know her existence.
Now that I think about it, maybe this feeling is an omen.
The so-called divine descending ceremony is not at all a duty that saints of all ages need to perform. It is just a ceremony of selecting containers with the "bright moon consciousness" mentioned by the nuns.
Since the life of a god is very long, the Moonlight Sacred Ceremony, which is only held once every five years in the life of ordinary people, is just a fleeting moment for the goddess.
Do you choose containers so frequently for the purpose of resurrection?
Does this mean that the goddess is not in a good condition right now?
Having been mentally whipped by Sister Gretel in a short period of time, Tia felt dizzy in her mind and without any strength in her body.
Therefore, even the most basic thinking became hazy, as if he was going to faint in the next second.
But she knew she couldn't pass out.
If you give up and wake up again, you will probably hear the news of the death of Louise and that guy. No, in the final analysis, just like the church's sudden change of attitude towards her, the goddess will of course attach great importance to the container that was supposed to be prepared for herself. .
Perhaps, after being comatose here, there would be no possibility of him recovering again.
The greater probability is that the goddess's consciousness will occupy the body, thus completely losing oneself.
Isn't this death in another sense?
In fact, for Tiya, death is not scary.
Just like before when he faced the King of Evil in the Tomb of the Dead.
If her death was worthwhile or she could save innocent people, she would give her life without hesitation.
Even with her respect and devotion to the goddess, even if the church directly told the truth and ordered her to sacrifice her body, Tia would probably do it.
Being able to use her body to resurrect means that the goddess's control over the human world will be strengthened like never before, thereby blessing believers.
It was too late for her to expect such a thing, so how could she shirk it?
Of course, the premise is that there is no complicated experience during this period, and the existence that deep down in the heart wants to save no matter what.
Tia, whose heart was blank before, and Tia, who is now filled with various emotions, are completely different in a strict sense.
Instead of blindly following the church's orders, she seems to have learned to think independently.
Speaking of which, there is something strange.
As depicted in those story novels, the heroine with a tragic life experience finds that her destiny has been controlled by the mastermind behind the scenes. She does not even have the right to choose her own marriage and happiness, just like a canary imprisoned in a cage. .
How similar is this scene to her current situation?
The difference is that she seems much more miserable.
Tia Yohesti is not even an individual with civil rights, just a "mistake" born in a container.
Or, like a virus parasitic in this body, a robber occupying a private residence, even the meaning of existence is denied from the root.
".Let me go."
Feeling the cold and deep tunnel, Tia whispered to the nuns who followed her.
However, all she received in response was indifference and solemnity.
It was as if no one cared about the soul in this body.
They followed Sister Gretel's request and took Tia to a mysterious facility underground in the Church of Silence.
The gap between the divine moon.
This is the destination of everyone's trip.
After walking out of the tunnel, the steps of the nuns gradually stopped, and then they slowly raised their heads.
Even though they have watched it countless times, every time they witness the great and miraculous scene in front of them, uncontrollable admiration and piety will still emerge in everyone's hearts.
This is a place like the ruins of a divine war. The earth has been destroyed by the vast and mysterious power, leaving only vaguely visible dilapidated buildings. They are simple and strange, just like the place where the ancient ancestors worshiped the gods. place.
In addition, at a glance, countless huge rubbles are suspended in the sky, like the pathways and nodes of the matrix, outlining an open area in the center.
That empty area exudes a faint silver glow, like a portal leading to nowhere, and like a bright white full moon hanging high in the sky, exuding the aura of the goddess peacefully and quietly.
The so-called Gap of the Divine Moon is a special space opened up by the first-generation Moon Goddess in the Era of Divine War to protect believers.
Located between the Silver Moon Divine Kingdom and reality, it is a realm that belongs exclusively to the deceased.
As time goes by, the rules and extraordinary powers that remain in the world have undergone subtle changes, causing the gap in the world that was destroyed in the war of gods to be no longer suitable for human habitation.
But because this is the closest place to the Moon Goddess, it was preserved by the Church of Silence.
On weekdays, you can often feel the baptism of the power of the moonlight, and even occasionally hear the goddess's murmurs.
As for Tia, I don’t know why before, but the church always strictly prohibited her from appearing here.
Thinking about it now, maybe it was to prevent her presence from angering the goddess.
And after tonight is the Moonlight Holy Ceremony, for the church, avoiding suspicion no longer seems to have much meaning.
After seeing the vast dark starry sky behind the portal and the slowly sinking Silver Moon Ruins, a sense of electric shock ran through my body.
In an instant, she seemed to understand everything.
It was a sense of affinity derived from blood and bones, as if this body was born to welcome the goddess's resurrection.
But this feeling caused Tiya's own consciousness to feel a trace of uncontrollable disgust and rejection.
This is caused by the biological instinct to survive.
Tia tried to break free from the control of the nuns, but it was in vain.
The moment she appeared in the Gap of the Divine Moon, she seemed to have been deprived of all the extraordinary power in her body, and was reduced to a weak ordinary girl.
Including the curse that prevents contact with the opposite sex, these are the "gifts" of the moon god.
He can take it back at any time if He wants.
"Go ahead."
Looking at the light silver space close at hand, Tiya's ears suddenly heard the pious words of the nuns.
Then, there was a shock that was neither light nor heavy.
Before Tiya could react, she was pushed into the portal leading to the Gap of the Divine Moon.
In an instant, a soft and quiet cold touch gradually enveloped her whole body, as if she had fallen into the deep sea.
Tia subconsciously opened her arms, and her body slowly floated above the starry sky behind the Gap of the Divine Moon. The extremely intense sleepiness came over her like a tide, almost swallowing her consciousness completely.
No. It cannot be done.
Once you lose consciousness, everything is lost.
After all, no one seems to have the ability to forcibly erase her consciousness, whether it is the Moon Goddess or the Church of Silence.
Even doing so will cause irreversible damage to the container.
In this case, the current situation has become an unprecedented tug-of-war for Tiya.
Even though his extraordinary abilities and divine factors were deprived of him, it had nothing to do with this kind of thing.
This tug-of-war takes place in the spiritual world and comes from the battle of wills between Tia Yohesti and the consciousness of the bright moon.
I. Still have things to do.
Although he probably didn't have any expectations for me, and he couldn't say cool lines like "Someone is waiting for me to come back", deep down in his heart, there were some words that he had to convey to him no matter what.
Tiya bit the tip of her tongue, and as the smell of blood spread in her mouth, her consciousness gradually returned to clarity.
I don’t know if it’s an illusion.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
After a while, the sleepiness and exhaustion that was still lingering all over her body disappeared in an instant.
At the same time, as an inexplicable energy was slowly injected into her body, Tiya suddenly felt that her five senses had become much sharper.
what happened?
Tiya felt like her body was stuck in a void quagmire and couldn't move, but an inexplicable feeling of panic arose spontaneously.
Although for an extraordinary person, the blessing of enhancing the five senses is enough to give someone an advantage in battle, she doesn't seem to need such a thing at the moment.
For the Church of Silence, it is now necessary to gradually annihilate her consciousness through pain and punishment.
In this case, the ultimate purpose of this blessing of enhancing the five senses is self-evident.
The next second, invisible fluctuations swept through, and the terrible pain that was so intense that it couldn't be more intense, with the five senses being multiplied, hit the whole body!
This is not just tactile pain, but a dense and overwhelming mental offensive with no blind spots.
She heard a layer of murmurs that could drive someone to collapse and commit suicide.
She saw something indescribable that could destroy her mind.
She smelled the physical smell of the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood, as well as the miserable life buried under these corpses.
She felt an extremely long time, and every pain she suffered at this moment was clearly engraved on her soul.
In an instant, Tia let out a mournful cry.
It hurts!
So uncomfortable!
Someone come and save me! ! !
Time flies.
Soon, the day passed.
When night fell, the entire Silent Church was busy.
Although in the eyes of those who know about it, the so-called Moonlight Holy Ceremony is just a day for the goddess to choose a container, but to the outside world, they who don't know it regard it as a day of miracles.
Therefore, with the permission of the goddess, the Church of Silence used it as a means to show off its muscles to the outside world.
After the end of the God War Era, most of the gods lost contact and rarely performed miracles in front of their believers.
Even Tianli Church and Fenfu Church, both of which are three major churches, have not seen similar grand scenes for a long time.
Only the Church of Silence can do this on a regular basis.
Therefore, although the number of believers is slightly smaller than the first two, the degree of piety and cohesion are unmatched by any other church.
"."
Sister Gretel stood by the window, staring at the busy street in the distance.
Located in the upper city, those who can receive invitations and participate in the Moonlight Sacred Ceremony are all nobles with surnames from Glostin. But now they arrive here in an endless stream, just to witness the miracle of the bright moon that happens once in five years. .
However, they could not go to the Gap of the Divine Moon to enjoy the scene of the goddess' arrival up close. They could only look up at the bright moon above the endless starry sky in the auditorium prepared in advance.
Once the goddess chooses to be born, the moon will also change accordingly.
This is a miracle that ordinary people and nobles can appreciate.
As for what the real situation is, only the senior people in the Church of Silence know.
"The member of the Cortez family who came to watch the ceremony seems to be Senator Black himself."
The young subordinate behind him softly reported to Sister Gretel in front of him.
Hearing this, Sister Gretel had no expression on her face, but she let out a disdainful sneer in her nose: "I remember that as a believer of the Lord of Billions of Stars, he had promoted bills in the Imperial Parliament many times in an attempt to destroy the Church of Silence. and the Church of Abundance were eliminated from the three major churches, leaving only the Tenri Church as the only orthodox faith.”
"Why, you are currently paralyzed, but you want to ask us for the moonlight liquid?"
The wrinkles at the corners of her eyes straightened out, and she seemed to be in a good mood.
Speaking of which, the reason why Congressman Black was reduced to this situation was precisely because of the action of that lunatic named Lynn Bartleon.
For this, I have to thank him.
However, this tiny touch of gratitude in my heart will probably never reach his ears.
Thinking of this, Sister Gretel suddenly said: "What's going on over there at the container now?"
Hearing this, the young nun behind him lowered his head like a quail, hesitating a little.
"Saint. No, there is still some self-consciousness left in the container. Although it is extremely weak, it cannot be completely eradicated."
Hearing this, Sister Gretel couldn't help but frowned: "Has the power of the Illusion of Pain been adjusted to the maximum?"
The young nun nodded repeatedly: "Of course, all the time."
This sentence caused Sister Gretel to fall into silence, and a somewhat sinister look appeared on her face.
Obviously, she did not expect that the doll that had always been under the control of the church would actually transform into what it is now in just a few days.
He underestimated her.
But so what?
In the face of the destined historical trend, no one can resist the power of God.
Thinking of this, a light suddenly appeared in Sister Gretel's mind.
For some reason, she remembered the name she just mentioned.
"Next, remember my request carefully." Sister Gretel was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Before the divine descending ceremony begins, make one last attempt as I said."
"What should we do?"
the young nun asked quickly.
"Use the characteristics of the painful illusion to customize an exclusive dream for her."
"The protagonist of the dream is called, um. Lynn Bartleyon."
"Yes!"
After receiving the order, the young nun immediately left the room.
Looking at the dark night sky and the bright and flawless moon, Sister Gretel narrowed her eyes slightly.
