Chapter 681 Flower of Blood and Bone·Endgame XVII
The bloody sky begins to slowly fall, and the world is being squeezed by an invisible force.
Above the sky, the crimson clouds were like torn curtains, revealing two burning fissures.
In the rift, huge crosses slowly descended from the sky with endless pressure. Their size was large enough to cover the entire sky, and the light and shadow intertwined into a picture of glory and depression.
The two crosses, like the final tools from the Last Judgment, pierce the earth with irresistible power.
Ding——
Ding——
Xia Xiu and Bo Defei II were unable to resist. Their bodies were lifted up by the invisible force, and then they were heavily bound to the cross.
The beams of the cross are like shackles of fate, fastening their arms tightly.
锵——
Qiang——
Then, the Nail of Judgment penetrated both of their wrists.
The two stand opposite each other, forming a sharp contrast.
At the left end, the fourth sword-holder in the Kingdom of Heaven is like a perfect righteous man, with a calm and solemn expression on his face, exuding brilliance like the sun.
His face is even more brilliant than the sun, like an angel in appearance, but he also carries a compassionate humanity.
This kind of humanity makes his image more three-dimensional and real, like a being with dual qualities of both an angel and a mortal.
On the right end, the image of Bodefei II is completely different.
His body exudes endless determination and huge killing intent. There are six fingers on each hand on his left and right hands, which seems to indicate that he has a different fate from ordinary people.
What is even more terrifying is that a painful Wendigo face emerged from his chest.
The ferocious face of the Wendigo was full of pain and despair. It was constantly tearing and struggling out of Bodefei II's body, as if to get rid of the shackles of this body.
The Wendigo's hands tightly covered the huge antlers on its head, its expression twisted, as if it was suffering unbearable pain.
The antlers are like a twisted symbol of fate, emitting a strange light, making the whole scene even more bizarre and paradoxical.
In this solemn and magnificent scene, Thoth, the god of wisdom and records, stands next to the scales, overlooking everything.
His ibis head is raised high, his white robe is gently fluttering in the invisible wind, and the reed pen in his hand hangs gently on the unfolded scroll.
Hieroglyphics gradually appeared on the scroll, each symbol carrying ancient mysterious power, recording this trial in the universe.
[Matt], the embodiment of truth and justice, stands at the other end of the scale. Her figure is like an eternal statue, quiet and majestic.
The feather in her hand symbolizes balance in the world, placed lightly on one side of the scales.
Feathers seem to carry the truth and justice of the entire universe, shining with a faint golden light.
In the scale tray on the other side, there is the "heart" of the person being judged. The heart beats slowly and emits a dark red light, as if it is telling sin and regret.
The beam of the golden scale is straight and steady, symbolizing the order of the world.
The breath of the entire world seems to flow with it, and the pendulum of fate slowly swings in the balance of the scales, determining the final outcome of the two souls.
At the moment when the scales began to balance, both the fourth sword holder of the Kingdom of Heaven and Bode Fei II fell into the judgment of fate.
The two ends of the scale move slowly, symbolizing that the balance between justice and evil is taking shape.
And in this silence, the expression of Bodefei II, who was nailed to the right, suddenly changed.
His face, which was originally full of pain and distortion, seemed unusually calm at this moment, just like the sea regaining its tranquility after a storm.
His eyes no longer showed anger or resentment, but an eerie calmness.
Bode Fei II stared at the fourth sword holder of the Kingdom of Heaven across from him.
His eyes met Xia Xiu's pupils.
Those eyes reflected each other's fate and the final moment of judgment, as if the fight between them was no longer important, what was important was the upcoming result.
In this silence, Bodefei II had already accepted everything that was coming, and he was already prepared to face the worst...die at the hands of the real candidate for the inner palace ahead. superior.
His heartbeat gradually stabilized, his breathing became even, and there was a hint of cold sadness in his eyes, as well as a hint of indescribable... dissatisfaction.
That is dissatisfaction with fate.
He spoke in a low voice, and his voice seemed to come from the abyss. It was so calm that it was almost cold, but it also carried a majesty that could not be ignored.
"Hugh Abraham, I'm waiting for you at the border." His voice was neither urgent nor slow, but it was like a hammer hitting the air. "What a privilege it is for you to witness this miraculous blueprint..." He spoke in a chillingly calm tone, as if he was already in another world. A world.
There - destiny has been woven, the ending has been written.
"At that time, you will know what a stupid thing you have done. You have blocked the way that human beings should be able to ascend!!"
"I have always heard of your deeds, you You are no different from those ambitious people in the past, wearing the false savior mask, you make me feel sick! ! ”
We can only live in peace now.

When Bodefei II's voice gradually disappeared in the air, Xia Xiu raised his head and looked at the enemy who was crucified.
“It’s always like this.”
Under his appearance and body, Xia Xiu rarely showed a hint of tiredness deep in his eyes.
The enemy in front of him is the most powerful opponent he has faced so far.
The founder of the Awakening of the Inner Temple not only brought him an unprecedented sense of oppression in terms of power.
Although on the surface he looks intact and seems to be coping with everything calmly, in fact, this is just an appearance, an illusion maintained under extreme conditions.
However, Xia Xiu remained calm as always at this moment. Facing Fei II's provocation and confidence, he did not have too many emotional fluctuations.
"What do you mean?" There was a hint of displeasure in Fei II's voice, and his indifferent expression made him feel extremely unhappy. He hated the other person's arrogant face and the look in his eyes that seemed to look down on all living beings.
"You always go out of your way to create difficulties for me, my colleagues and my colleagues, and you are always so righteous. In fact, I don't have too much moral criticism for this. I have been able to reach this position on this road. People always have extraordinary qualities, outstanding goals, and unabashed ambition."
Fei II sneered, and the corner of his mouth raised a hint of contempt, but Xia Xiu's voice remained steady.
“So, everything you do seems too natural. The road to sublimation to a high position is full of hardships. People often find themselves rising to a need after experiencing all the pain. A place to experience more pain."
Xia Xiu paused for a moment, his eyes getting deeper and deeper. He seemed to see the struggle and confusion of countless souls chasing their dreams.
“Thoughts that are too arrogant and ambitions that are too straightforward always require self-proof. However, for those who are on the road to transcendence in pursuit of their own goals and will, self-certification is a must. Evidence is the most ridiculous thing - so we just have to do it because it's what we should do."
"Sometimes I often feel, or others often feel it, they always say to me - you lack a quality that people should have, it is not that you lack humanity, but that you lack 'humanity'. You are like a pursuit The target machine, rather than the 'last man' who is stuck in the eternal reincarnation and wanders like them."
"The world is keen on wandering and changing, and believes that adhering to a belief is a plus. They all love free will, whether in thought or action. However, they lack a certain virtue and a certain nature."
His eyes gradually focused and stared. He looked at Bade Fei II as if he wanted to penetrate the other person's soul:
"Human nature is often hidden and can be suppressed for a while, but rarely can it be completely annihilated. Suppressing nature will often make it worse. It becomes more intense after being freed from bondage. Teaching and persuasion can only temper human nature. Only long-term habits can change and restrain human nature."
"My enemies, it is always the same. , maintaining their own ideas and nature - they have the instinct to destroy an old morality and old values."
"You think you are pursuing a new order and new power, but you have to understand one thing. To see clearly who you really are, you must have some awareness and rise to the top - only from there can you overlook the beauty of life. The whole picture."
Bodfei II's eyes flashed with boredom, and he felt that something in his heart was dissatisfied with the words of the angel in front of him.
Xia Xiu's words seemed to be revealing some unspeakable truth deep in his heart, making him feel extremely repulsed.
“Those who call themselves enlightened people, have their souls really been reshaped?” Xia Xiu’s voice was still calm, but it became sharper, “Or are they just for the old? Shackles put on new clothes? True awakening is a rebellion against the old world, a denial of all old morality, and a direct look into the abyss of the self. It makes you question everything, doubt everything, and ultimately makes you a new creation. "
"I always see my reflection in you, but you make me feel disgusted."
"Later I understood one thing and saw a problem."
"Destroy old morality and create new morality; destroy old values and create new values - not satisfied with existing virtues, but Pursuing a higher level of existence is my virtue."
Xia Xiu's tone suddenly turned heavy and serious, and his eyes were fixed on the face of Bade Fei II, his eyes seemed to be like this. To penetrate the opponent's defense.
“But, you are different. Destruction is a necessary step towards creation, but destruction itself is not the ultimate goal.”
“Only by destroying the old, decadent value system, can human beings create Make room for new, higher values ”
"However, after you destroyed the old values, you created new morals and new values that are more distorted or more repressive. This kind of 'creation' is not a real creation, but a kind of degradation, and even the will to life and power. "Betrayal."
"After you destroy the old morality, what you promote is always slave morality."
"You are more dangerous than Atlas. "
"You people are not real creators, but destroyers pretending to be creators. Your so-called 'new morality' is only a further suppression of vitality, not liberation."
"Human beings no longer pursue greatness, but choose safety and comfort, then human beings will degenerate into lifeless 'last men'."
His voice was low and powerful, with an irresistible force that directly hit the most dissatisfied part of Fei II's heart.
"I always ask one thing for enemies like you, and this sentence is - why do you hate humans so much."
Bod Fei II felt an uncontrollable revulsion, It was a feeling of disgust towards the angel in front of him that came from the depths of his soul. It was a feeling he had never experienced before.
“That’s nonsense!”
Bode Fei II roared at the angel, his voice shaking the entire space.
"You are just a stupid dog in heaven, how dare you criticize morality in front of me? No matter how high-minded you talk, it is just a lie cloaked in hypocrisy at best!
Keeping high the banner of 'humanity' is just for the sake of You are just a cold-blooded puppet, claiming to be a messenger of justice, but in my eyes, you are just a ridiculous thief, a parasite who deprives others of their glory!”
Bodefei II's voice became sharper and sharper, and the anger burned in his heart like a burning flame.
"Your so-called 'nature' is just a fig leaf for yourself, and your theories are just a bunch of tattered shackles! Everything I do is to transcend the shackles of the world and set foot on the highest road. Altar, create a new utopia.”
“A young boy is not qualified to make decisions!”
"The ambition to rule mankind has been turned into an idea of salvation by you!" Fei II said with sarcasm.
"Your so-called 'salvation' is nothing but a dictatorship in a high-sounding cloak! You think you are a messenger of light. However, in my eyes, you are just suppressing all the will to resist under the hypocritical Under peace! What you call 'liberation' is just binding your free will in your rules and order. You think you are noble. However, true nobleness is to transcend these constraints and reach the pinnacle of controlling your destiny!"
Bode Fei II’s eyes were full of disdain and contempt.
“You think you are destined by destiny, but in fact, you are just enslaving everyone’s freedom and ruling in the name of salvation! Your so-called ‘kingdom of heaven’ is just for your selfish desires. The tool of service is the shackles you use to rule and suppress others!"
"I will not be deceived by your hypocritical mask! I see through your hypocrisy, and I will tear it apart! Disguise and expose your true face to the world! My great deeds will liberate everyone from your enslavement and return your so-called 'salvation' to what it should be - a battle for The trampling and exploitation of the will of all mankind! ”
Ding——
A clear sound came from Libra, interrupting the "friendly exchange of questions" between the two.
A violent white light sounded, and both of them were swallowed up by the white light.

At the same time, in the sky above Terra, the once huge night ship was like a floating continent, moored quietly in the sky.
However, at this moment, the night boat seemed to have lost the power of life and gradually came to a standstill.
The huge hull trembled slightly in the air, making a low groaning sound, like the last struggle of a dying thing.
The seven-layer veil, like the veil of the world, no longer dances at this moment, but remains still in the air.
The brilliance that was originally swaying in the aurora sky gradually dimmed, like a light that was about to go out. The cracks in the sky slowly healed, restoring the former tranquility.
[Green Sun], the light that was once as bright as a star gradually dimmed at this moment.
The huge ball of light seemed to have lost its power, and the light gradually converged, as if it was suppressed by an invisible force.
The light is no longer dazzling, but slowly retreats, like a dying star, falling into endless silence.
The night boat's voyage came to a complete standstill at this moment, like a stranded giant ship, quietly suspended in the air, waiting for the final verdict of fate.
