Chapter 325 Door of Truth
On the horizon of the foggy city.
Piercing Justice, who transformed into the source of the dead river, stared at the other end a thousand meters away with fearful eyes.
There, the burning ship was crumbling, and a young man with blond hair and golden eyes stood on the deck. The strong wind roared, blowing his blond hair, which danced in the wind like fire. It burned, and his robes flew and danced. The broad robe fluttered in the wind, making a low roar, and the other party held the golden Holy Grail high in his hand.
The pure gold base of the Holy Grail is inlaid with 28 pearls, 2 rubies and 2 emeralds, with the inscription "Given to those who bring glory" engraved on it.
Similarly, Xia Xiu, who was thousands of meters away, also stared back at the Impaler, his golden eyes looking towards the huge river of death.
In the Dead River, the terrifying troops holding the [Spear of Sparta] were arrayed in front, and demonic thaumaturgic fluctuations burst out from them; countless ancient Berlin human structures emerged from them, They held old-era energy weapons and aimed them at the ship; mountains of Daevite sub-age steam war weapons slowly crawled out of the Dead River. These [Mechanical Ascended Ones] swallowed by the Dead River made a dull mechanical sound.
[Clock Tower] The solemn thaumaturgy-casting troops held staffs and stared at the blond young man with hatred for the living; the Iberian hunters held long swords and handguns and stared closely. Catching his prey; Fran's skeletal dragon knights surrounded the sky, and the skeletal dragon was opening its mouth wide, revealing its extremely smelly mouth.
Adici, Atlantis, Wand Man, Snake Hand...
Countless undead crawled out of the Dead River, and the most eye-catching one is naturally Standing beside the Impaler, he held a chain sword in his right hand and a bolter in his left hand, releasing light wings and wearing an "angel" armor with [+] runes and thaumaturgy engraved on the chest.
They were the Crusaders from the Kingdom of Heaven's era of conquering aliens. However, they had already fallen. Now they are just monsters covered in hatred and despair.
Most of the Dead River army began to disperse. Four other elite troops, including the Celestial Crusaders, rushed towards Lando El-Melloi who stood on Big Ben to initiate the ceremony, while the remaining main body The troops looked eagerly at the angels on the ship.
At this moment, the terrifying army of the dead river looked at the blond angel holding the Holy Grail high. The dark "soil" inside the rim of the Holy Grail was rolling.
“It’s really ugly, Grand Duke.”
Looking at the army that gathered together and turned into corpses, Xia Xiu sneered loudly:
"The spirit of hatred overwhelms death, the heart of love despises death, the feeling of honor makes people devote themselves to death, and the heart of sorrow makes people rush to death. And human cowardice and weakness will make the living soul die before death comes. Oh, the life hater who has merged with thousands of lives, you are so impure, you have lost your pride as a human being, and you cannot fully embrace the vampires, and the ether rejects you because of your ugliness.”
The Impaler stretched out his hand like a conductor controlling an orchestra, but the music at this moment was a prelude to death.
“Angel of heaven holding a crimson cup, what qualifications do you have to ridicule me? Come on, continue the game between us, and let me see what kind of resistance you can do this time.”
< br>"The old guy whose crown is broken, it's better to lie back in the coffin."
Angels and vampires taunted each other on the other side of the sky, and at the same time, the second round of battle officially began.
Boom——
The giant hand of bones transformed from the dead river reached out to the burning ship without hesitation. It wanted to drag it down from the sky, and the black mud in the Holy Grail held high was completely tumbled out.
“Follow the contract and respond to me——”
[Crimson Holy Grail·Activation——]
Buzz——
Everything became hazy and clear in an instant.
The originally silent air suddenly becomes lively, as if thousands of voices are whispering in your ears, filled with a charming magical atmosphere, as intoxicating as the fragrance of flowers. At that moment, you can feel as if you have touched the goal of your dreams, and all doubts, fears and confusions seem to disappear at that moment.
The light burst out instantly and shot straight into the sky, as if it was about to tear a hole in the dark sky.
Boom! ! !
The air was filled with a deafening roar, like Thor swinging his hammer in the sky.
The ground began to shake, and stones and dust jumped in the air, as if to celebrate the arrival of this moment.
The power jumped in the air and spread, as if it wanted to swallow everything.
Then, you saw it - a red beam of light shooting out from the center of the Holy Grail, shooting straight into the sky, like a passage to heaven.
Subsequently, a red sphere appeared, a swirling and abnormal creation, cast by the perfect balance between irreconcilable anomalies and broken minds; an entity created by overwhelming and unavoidable tension. , is the howl of the old world facing the cold, gray, and meaningless new world.
The terrifying hand of the dead river was burned by the light.
Duke Impaler was not surprised by the power of the Holy Grail. The [Supreme Divinity] covered in it was so familiar, and the inner eternal malice was surrounding the ship.
Looking at the ship wrapped by [Supreme Divinity], Impaler's eyes darkened slightly.
"What, are you planning to use the Holy Grail in your hand to pray to kill me directly? I'm afraid that after you say this wish, people will follow me."
On the ship , the crimson Holy Grail floated in the air, the red ball exuded an aura of despair, black mud began to roll out from the inner wall of the Holy Grail, and the extremely viscous liquid soon spread all over the entire deck.
“Of course not.”
Xia Xiu, who was standing in the black mud, shook his head slightly towards the Impaler. In the praying state, he could get five minutes of phase protection similar to the invincible time. This is why the Impaler was willing to fight him. The reason for Lai Lai is,
From the time they met at the spiritual tomb to now, Xia Xiu has been making time in between the impaling masters.
When he was in the spiritual tomb, Lord Impaler was unable to move in the [Ether Tide] cast at the 81km level, and used various strategies to disgust the opponent; but now, the opponent can move, but he also uses the second round of deduction The prizes obtained open the invincible time period and continue to disgust the opponent.
In a situation where neither could do anything to the other, the two of them never stopped using their venomous tongues. In terms of sarcasm, ridicule and vitriol, Xia Xiu clearly had the upper hand.
Both of them had the same purpose, to delay time.
Lord Impaler was waiting for Xia Xiu's invincibility time to end, while Xia Xiu was confirming his preparations.
If you ask Xia Xiu, when did he set his sights on the Impaler?
He will answer, from the second day when he was entered into the genealogy of the Kingdom of Heaven, from the third day when he traveled to Terra.
When facing the most essential problems, he is calm and firm in everything. He never loses his composure and does not like to make new tricks.
While pursuing one's lofty goals, one must be subject to certain conditions, but encountering any obstacles can change one's temperament - just like anything thrown into fire can be melted by it. Small flames may be extinguished by it, but a raging fire can absorb everything thrown into it and burn it, resulting in an even stronger fire.
What is needed to kill [Crown] with a mortal body?
Wisdom? Mobility? Ambition? courage?
These are inevitable, but what about something more specific?
Xia Xiuhui’s answer - Fulcrum.
Give him a fulcrum and he can leverage everything he needs.
If there is no fulcrum, make it yourself.
What is about to kill the Impaler is not luck, but the chess piece laid out by the 'careerist' from the beginning.
This was a long-planned assassination.
This is the curtain call that [Kingslayer] has been preparing for day and night. He will step on the Impaler to enter a larger stage and world.
[In February 1589 of the Terra Calendar, two months before the [Fog City 10th District Explosion], the Fog City Railway Project started construction with donations from unknown wealthy people. 】
[In April 1589 in the Terra Calendar, the French Railway Company was purchased by an unknown wealthy man who purchased a large number of shares. 】
[In June 1589 of the Terra Calendar, the Fog City Railway Construction Agreement was approved, and the [Ouroboros] project was fully launched. 】
[On April 27, 1590 in the Terra calendar, [Ouroboros] was officially completed, and the Fog City Railway project was officially completed. 】
If someone gets the [Ouroboros] project drawings and removes some other trunk lines, they will find that the general structure of this project is to draw a circle on the entire fog city.
Since ancient times, the circle has been the prerequisite that drives all mysteries. It is the [root] of the thaumaturgy circle.
This circle was formed driven by Xia Xiu's will, that is to say, it was the circle he drew.
“All things are originally one, and are created from one through differentiation.”
“One is the whole, and the whole is one.”
Darkness covers the earth, only A burning flame lit up a peaceful void.
The burning flames reflected the handsome face of a blond young man, reflecting the dazzling laughter.
He stood in the blazing flames, tall and slender, like a mythical hero. He stretched out his slender arms and held the sky, as if he wanted to hold the whole world in his hands.
The golden eyes burned hotly in the firelight, like two burning stars, exuding an extremely powerful intimidation, like a monarch who controlled all things.
Ten gems fell to the ground and naturally formed a formation.
"The splendor of the crown, revealed in the eternal diamond, allows us to perceive the pure divine light."
The holy diamond shatters.
"The wisdom of blue is as endless as the sky, allowing us to gain insight into the mysterious door."
The magnificent sapphire shattered.
"The understanding of red, like mother's kindness, allows us to experience the love of all things."
The scarlet garnet is broken.
"The radiance of compassion shines in the amethyst, allowing us to feel the divine love." The dazzling amethyst shattered.
"The fiery red severity, like a thunder blow, makes us realize the power of righteousness."
The fiery red ruby shattered.
“The beauty in the center shines brightly, allowing us to see the glory of God.”
The brilliant diamond breaks.
"Eternal life is abundant in emerald, allowing us to realize the infinity of life."
The abundant emerald is broken.
“The glory of gold, like the glow of the sun, allows us to understand the glory of truth.”
The glorious topaz shattered.
“The cornerstone of dreams, like the twinkling moonlight, allows us to experience mysterious revelations.”
The dreamy moonstone shatters.
“The solidity of the kingdom, dark and hard, allows us to realize the reality of the material world.”
The dark obsidian shattered.
When the ten gems shattered, the circle surrounding the foggy city started, and a huge light shined.
Phase 2·Complete.
The first phase of the ceremony began to intersect with the sky.

【The Kabbalah Tree-Inverting Ceremony·Starts! 】
At this time, if someone looks down from a high position, they can see the path of the tree of life transformed by the Fog City subway system. Each subway line can represent a special connection between spirit and matter, and each subway station can be regarded as a Where specific nodes (sephirot) are located, the intersections and connections of the subway lines conform to the configuration of the ten nodes and twenty-two paths of the Kabbalah Tree of Life.
Xia Xiu shouted loudly at the Holy Grail:
“Now, based on the principle of [equivalent interaction], carry out [truth training] for me, and let the magnificent [truth] Gate] Project from the ether into the real world.”
[The Gate of Truth·Activate! 】
Click——
The crimson Holy Grail shattered, and driven by the underground magic circle, a virtual portal was projected from the surface, and then opened, and huge ripples appeared in the sky.
A huge portal appeared in the sky.
That is the [Door of Truth] with the inverted Kabbalah tree engraved on it.
Incomparably huge, standing on the abyss of nothingness, as if connecting the endless universe, defining the boundaries between life and death, present and future,
The origin of this ancient and mysterious door Composed of countless exquisite and complex symbols, designs and patterns, the most eye-catching is the Kabbalah tree engraved in the center. This inverted tree-like image is connected by ten particles representing the basic structure of the world and twenty-two channels symbolizing different powers and paths, creating a profound occult symbol. Every particle and channel shines like a star on the door of truth, flowing with incredible light.
Suddenly, the Door of Truth engraved with the fallen tree of Kabbalah made a shrill sound, as if an ancient spell was echoing in the void. At this moment, a terrifying and mysterious energy burst out from the door, seeming to swallow up all the light, plunging the surrounding area into darkness.
Boom——
The door opened, and there was a huge eye. Its pupils were as deep as a black hole, and the ever-changing light flickered in it, as if it contained all the knowledge and truth of the universe. When you stare at it, you can feel it staring back at you, as if it can see through your soul and all your secrets.
The light transmitted by Him illuminates every corner of the Kabbalah tree, giving it endless power.
The huge eyes of [Gate of Truth] stare at the foggy city.
The huge light balls on the door crowded together and moved toward the door. The parts that fell off the nearest ball and the eerie outward flowing protoplasm gathered together to form an ominous and terrifying thing from outer space.
"Key to the Door..." Mr. Impaler's face looked as ugly as eating shit.
"This is not correct, old guy. You should really read more books, so that you will know that the relationship between the [Lord of the Gate] and the [Gate of Truth] is one and many; then The terrifying beings in the starry sky are now blocked in the [Crystal Sky], so there is no chance of coming to the world. You should call them different manifestations of the same substance."
The blond young man sneered as always, at this moment. A halo made of a wriggling ball of light appeared on his forehead.
[Temporary loading——]
[Crown·"Fake" Ring of Truth]
He spread out his left and right hands. At this time, the left hand symbolizes [natural force] and the right hand symbolizes [spiritual force]. When the two are combined into one, they are [all things] 】.
"You madman, you want to refine the River of Death into [Philosopher's Stone]!?"
The Impaler roared and commanded the River of Death to flow towards the blond young man, and the other party Then he put his hands together, and the silver arc flashed, and at the same time he smiled and responded to the Impaler:
“To each other.”
On the [Gate of Truth], from the deep darkness, countless dark arms began to stretch out, like tentacles, squirming and rolling, extremely terrifying and grotesque. These arms were twisted one after another, with different shapes, some were slender, some were thick, some were curved, some were straight, as if they emerged from an endless abyss and expanded in all directions.
What is even more terrifying is that these arms are covered with eyes, densely packed and of different sizes. They are wide, lifeless, frantic, staring, staring wildly, or wandering. Each eye exudes a strange light, sometimes blurry, sometimes clear. They looked around, and every pupil reflected the bottomless darkness, as if it could attract anyone's soul to fall into it.
The huge river of death and the tentacles collided and fought with each other.
The vampires and angels located at both ends of the Dead River and the Tentacles looked directly at each other without concealing the boiling murderous intent in their eyes.
“I am now burdened with a huge debt. I could repay most of it with the Holy Grail of Fun, but it is far from enough. I need a heart, a heart that can drive space-based weapons. For this reason, I You need to pay a huge surgical fee." The blond young man said words that made the puncture public feel unclear.
At this time, Xia Xiu is a [Tongtiandai] in every sense. Relying on his superb skills and huge psychology, he is now in a state of delicate balance.
This balance is both strong and fragile.
Xia Xiu, who was in the [All Things] experience state, looked at the Impaler and said to him:
"Some people die too late, and some people die too early. , and some people adhere to a creed: to die at the most appropriate time."
"You, like Lando Elmello Archibald, arrogantly think that you are special. You think that you can get the truth by pursuing it, but you never trust yourself or others. For the so-called freedom and truth, you place your hope on a distorted existence and remain stubborn without any growth, just like the villain in the bottle. "< br>
"Knowing a lot, but wanting to know everything - you are the real arrogants."
"Now, what I want to show you is a kind of death that is close to perfection. In the face of such death , those who are still alive will definitely be stimulated and take this as their hope. Those who have completed all their tasks will walk towards death with a strong sense of victory."
"Give the arrogant and conceited people a gift. Appropriate despair, this is the truth.”
The light in the golden eyes of the blond young man made the impaling male feel extremely disgusted, and he rushed towards the opponent with the surging river of death.
"Hugh Abraham, I will tear your arrogant face to pieces!!!"
The Impaler roared with rage at the angels of heaven.
Xia Xiu raised his hands, combining [nature] and [spirit] to drive [all things].
Boom——
The black arm of [Gate of Truth] and the undead soul of the River of Death collided with each other at this strange moment, and an incredible battle began.
