Chapter 60: Embracing Madness (Please order first)
The deepest part of the sewer.
In this dark and filthy corner, layers and layers of cobwebs have been covered for some time. Rats crawled through the dirty mud one after another, and pairs of rats flickered in the shadows. With cold eyes and a sharp bite, a fist-sized spider captured its prey and quickly disappeared into the deepest part of the cave.
"President..."
A faint murmur echoed in the cave.
A huge number of weird spiders have built their nests here, and the ground is covered with fist-sized black spiders. They were just ordinary animals at first, but now they have all been deformed, with two pairs of compound eyes growing on their heads and sharp mouthparts. Poison sacs grew out of them, and in just one or two weeks they grew to the size of a fist, and some even grew to nearly the size of an adult.
The figure of the mistress hangs upside down in the center of the huge spider web. In the faint light, her figure is very long, and the twisted shadow seems to be swaying with the light and whispering.
"The president has given up on you."
"You have turned into a terrible monster, you have failed..." The shadow seemed to come to life, and it approached the mistress In his ear, he whispered softly.
Extraordinary people can digest monster relics, and monster relics can also digest extraordinary people.
This is a process of ebb and flow.
If the relics left by the strange creatures completely digest the extraordinary person, then the extraordinary person's body will undergo terrible distortions.
No!
In the darkness, a pair of strange and cold blood-red pupils emerged. The mistress opened her eyes instantly, and a purple shimmer changed in the pupils. She could see everything clearly in the darkness, and naturally she could also see Be aware of your own shadow that is ready to move.
The shadow is completely alive!
The extraordinary relics in the Mistress's body have digested nearly half of her body, and are still eroding her flesh and blood.
Because it comes from the ancient indescribable power.
"The president has not given up on me, but I have let him down..." The mistress's voice gradually became lower.
At this time, the appearance of the mistress has changed drastically. The original silver-white long hair has turned into a mottled gray-white, and the skin as dark as jade reveals a trace of sickly paleness. Although her appearance is still charming and beautiful, But on her forehead, a new pair of cloudy dark yellow eyes appeared in the cracked skin, as if some monster wanted to break out of her body.
In the lower body of the mistress, the human features below the waist have completely disappeared.
A huge, deformed black spider replaced her legs, and its six pairs of compound eyes emitted a strange glint in the darkness. It seemed to have its own ideas and was not always obeying the orders of its mistress.
There is a slight noise.
The mistress’s huge and plump lower body landed on the ground, and the weird black spider spun out spider silk. After her body approached the ground, the distorted reflection also overlapped with her body, and a monster was ready to move in the shadow.
"Disappointed?"
"No, you are just a tool for him to use." The activated shadow came to the mistress's ear and whispered: "From the beginning... …”
Shut up!
The mistress let out a scream, and she wanted to press the shadow's throat, but her hands passed through the shadow, and only the shadow's wanton chuckle came from the darkness.
"I am just your shadow, what do you want to do?"
"How pitiful. You have not defeated human nature, you have lost the qualification to be promoted to destiny."
" You were abandoned.”
The voice of the shadow was like the whisper of the devil, constantly tormenting the mistress's mind, driving her closer to the edge of complete loss of control.
No!
I have not been abandoned.
The mistress's expression seemed to be a bit frightening. She grabbed her own throat with both hands. In the dim light, the shadow's throat was also pinched. It could no longer whisper. It was caught by the master. Mother grabbed her throat!
But the mistress’s breathing was even more difficult. She pinched her neck, causing her face to swell with veins, and her entire face to become distorted and dark blue.
I don’t know how long it took.
The mistress gasped violently and climbed up. Her consciousness seemed to have recovered a little, and she whispered: "I still have a chance."
"As long as I can complete the promotion ceremony here."
"Complete the final hunt!"
"I still have a chance to recover. Even if I cannot be promoted to destiny, I can still become a dependent."
"Don't you ever try to replace me!"
"You are just my shadow."
A weird chuckle sounded, and the shadow also got up, and she mocked: "Haha ? Chance? You have been forced to hide in the sewers and eat rats. "
"Your only chance is..." When the Heart-Eater fails, flee Dorne, flee as far away as possible, and flee back to Dagon."
"There, with your power, you can get everything you want."
"But you didn't leave, why?"
"Are you loyal?"
< br>"It's really ridiculous."
The shadow came close to the mistress's ear again and murmured in a low voice: "Since you have chosen to embrace the darkness, why did you come back again?"
"Have you forgotten the president's teachings?"
"Courage breeds recklessness and tyranny, shadow breeds cunning and betrayal, knowledge breeds falsehood and madness..."
"You Not the Night Watchmen. "
"We follow the completely opposite path from them. We follow the laws of the world and embrace the truest dark side of the world. They restrain themselves while we indulge. Only in this way can we have a chance. On the road to destiny”
“But what did you do?”
"You chose loyalty and continued to perform a mission that was impossible to succeed at all."
The matron made a piercing scream.
"Shut up!!!"
She waved the snake-shaped dagger with cold light flowing, and stabbed the twisted and squirming shadow, clang, the dagger was completely immersed in the wall, and the shadow was unscathed, even There was a mocking chuckle.
Shadow is right.
They take the completely opposite path to the Night Watch. The Night Watch fights against the twisted laws of the world, restrains the tyranny in their hearts, and suppresses the madness of knowledge.
And they adapt to everything in the weird country, follow the laws of the world, embrace the real darkness, desire wealth by any means, be lustful and indulgent when they are greedy for pleasure, kill wantonly when they are bloodthirsty and thirsty, they fill their hearts All selfish desires, to actively cater to the dark laws of the weird country.
They integrate themselves with the dark side of the grotesque country and achieve the extraordinary path of 'realness'!
The end of this road is to be promoted to the evil god.
But even the evil god is better than the crazy world dominated by the old days.
In their view, all dark desires born of power are correct, real, and in line with the crazy nature of the world.
They are the right way!
They are the extraordinary beings who truly conform to the original laws of the grotesque country.
“We are right.”
“Because we digest extraordinary relics faster, our chances of promotion are greater!”
"We are the extraordinary ones who are best suited to this crazy world."
Natural selection, survival of the fittest!
We are the extraordinary ones who are marching towards the black sun of the weird country, while those hypocritical night watchmen are all walking against the light.
While they are fighting against the laws of the world, they want to obtain the power of the laws.
They are the evil ones!
"But you still failed."
"You chose loyalty when you should betray most. You embraced the dark side of the world, but you were unwilling to give up your humanity." "So I survived. , Born to replace you!"
The shadow was laughing wildly. She looked at the mistress in front of her, her eyes seemed to have a trace of pity, and she murmured: "Because of him? Did it give you hope to live when you were most desperate?”
“You forgot”
"We are the transcendent ones who embrace the true darkness of the world!..."
"Once you weaken, you will die!..."
The shadow's whisper echoes in the darkness.
Resoundingly.
"You should forget what he said...I still remember..."
"We are extraordinary beings born to replace the old days!... For this we can sacrifice everything!..."
Replace the old days with evil gods.
They are people who embrace the dark nature of the world. They are true demons and cannot tolerate any weakness.
The essence of shadow is extreme selfishness, cunning and betrayal are just manifestations. Its essence is a path to godhood that allows one to abandon everything else for oneself. Only in this way can there be a chance to replace it. Old days.
Using extreme selfishness to fight against loss of control, as the anchor of the self, all shining virtues are negative states, which will only make them one step closer to losing control.
Only the Night Watch needs the light of humanity to illuminate the darkness to combat the madness of the grotesque kingdom.
The Night Watch is practicing the extraordinary path in reverse, while they are practicing the extraordinary path directly.
Because of the behavior that conforms to the laws of the world, the mistress digests the extraordinary essence and is promoted very quickly.
But as long as she makes one wrong step and fails to continue to conform to the twisted and crazy nature of the world, the extraordinary relic will in turn digest her.
This is a completely dark and extraordinary road!
Not only does it have the opportunity to be promoted to the Destiny Legend of the Evil God Path, but it can also be promoted to the ‘Old Familia’ as an alternative to save itself at the most critical moment.
With this special promotion method, the positive emotions of human nature will become one's own inner demons.
The mistress was speechless for a long time.
In the end, she failed to completely abandon her humanity, which instead became one of the sources of her loss of control.
The night watchman lost control because of negative emotions, and she lost control because of positive emotions.
How ridiculous!
Some people look for light in darkness, and some people look for darkness in light.
The shadow is ready to move. It is getting closer to the mistress little by little, as if it wants to enter her body and completely replace the will, mind and soul of this body.
But suddenly!
The mistress reached out and grabbed the shadow's throat as fast as lightning. This time she didn't grab her own throat, but really grabbed the shadow. In the shadow's unbelievably shocked eyes, the mistress Her eyes were blood red, and she grabbed her own shadow and pulled it out bit by bit from her body.
She has no shadow.
The shadow was held in the hands of the mistress, as if it were a twisted ooze-like monster that was struggling. It was an unknown substance in the shadow plane.
“Are you weird?”
The mistress’s expression gradually calmed down, but her blood-red eyes were pregnant with endless madness. She looked at the hand held in her hand mockingly. Tuan twisted the shadow and whispered: "You probably can't imagine why I can catch you?"
The shadow was squirming, and the shadow turned into a weird six-eyed spider. It screamed: "This is impossible. ...I am your shadow...How can you catch your own shadow..."
"You haven't fully mastered the laws of shadows yet!"
The Mistress smiled.
She thought of that night full of blood and fire. It was her most painful and joyful day. She embraced death and new life.
It was also because of everything that day that she failed to blend into the darkness. She failed.
She cannot betray the president, even if the cost is madness and death.
Perhaps there was still a shining light of humanity in the deepest part of her soul, but this turned into the poison that killed her.
"Because I'm crazy."
The mistress's expression was very calm. She pinched the shadow in front of her and said softly: "It is impossible for normal people to catch their own shadow."< br>
“But the madman can!”
The shadow began to struggle violently, it wanted to escape because it was afraid.
The mistress is crazy.
But not the kind of madness it wants to be.
“Isn’t this what you want?”
“Since you were born in the shadow plane, you have wanted me to go completely crazy, lose control, and then be replaced by you!” Lord! A mocking smile appeared on the beautiful face of the female demon, and she said slowly: "Now I am really crazy! Why are you starting to be afraid instead?"
When she touched the essence of the shadow, her Spirituality also forms a reflection in the shadow plane, which is the second self.
On the extraordinary path of blackening, the remaining humanity will form twisted inner demons and split personality.
This is the price of embracing madness.
"You are right. I did fail."
The matron's voice turned into a whisper and murmured: "I didn't expect those Night Watchmen to protect Dorne so well. This is a place that should not really exist.”
“As the president said, no matter how beautiful the dream is, you will eventually wake up.”
"No matter what the cost is."
"I have to complete the task assigned to me by the president!..."
The mistress opened her blood-red eyes, reached out and crushed her own Shadow, the shadow turned into black mud and flowed into her body. She became a monster without a shadow, or she was her own shadow.
A shadow has no shadow.
“Go ahead.”
"Children."
"Go tell people the truth!..."
A cruel and bloodthirsty smile appeared on the corner of the mistress's mouth. She gently raised her hand, and a group of dense spiders appeared. Flooding into the sewers from all directions, she listened and murmured: "They are all coming..."
Embrace the madness.
The mistress used the last monster level to complete her own shadow law. She is now considered a half-legendary Old Familia, but the price is completely out of control.
At this moment, she chose to let her extraordinary essence digest her, in order to gain near-legendary power and complete the tasks assigned to her by the president.
The shadows squirm.
The figure of the mistress seemed to be assimilated with the surrounding shadows. For a moment, her flesh and blood completely melted like an illusion, and then reshaped in the shadows.
Her form has undergone a very special distortion.
A second ago, the mistress was still a half-human, half-spider monster without a shadow. The black cuticle spread along the lower body of the spider, covering her skin bit by bit, reaching the length of her elbow. Sharp bone spurs appeared, and ferocious insect beetles appeared on the lower jaw.
The next second, the body of the mistress began to turn into nothingness. Her flesh and blood completely melted away, as if she did not exist in the real space, and directly turned into a twisted spider-shaped reflection on the wall.
She turned into a wriggling shadow.
