Chapter Twenty-Five: The Overlord's Posture
Kusha the Great Galacika has been really restless lately, and he has always felt that this so-called restlessness must have something to do with the Eagle of Light.
As an apostle, in essence, he is actually a family of the Hand of God, yes, not a family of the abyss, but a family of the Hand of God, and there is actually a qualitative difference between the two.
As the emperor of Kusha, Galiscika won the throne with the help of apostolization, but as the emperor of the world's strongest empire, and he has always been insecure, secretly afraid of the people around him, so he has become even more brutal, and he has been secretly investigating about the apostles, about the hand of God, about the abyss, and even about the unified empire a thousand years ago.
Gathering the manpower, material resources, and financial resources of an empire, Galisika can do a lot of things, such as collecting intelligence, such as recruiting talented people, such as making artificial Behlet, etc., these things are not ordinary single apostles, even if they are things that top apostles can do, but Galesica has done these, he has collected a lot of information and information about the apostles, about the hand of God, about the empire thousands of years ago, about the ghost world, about the abyss, and at the same time recruited a powerful magician as the head of his demon beast legionγ
As mentioned in the preface, Galicia is a very insecure person, which has something to do with his past experience, as the Kusha royal family, and is the most inherited person in Kusha, the dirty infighting in the palace is naturally impossible to be less, and he had to be apostolized to survive, which made him afraid of everything around him to the extreme.
People who are struggling in the darkness are either as desperate as Gus to find the light, or they are assimilated into darkness like Garisica, in fact, in the original book, when Garisica found out that Gus had a sacrificial brand, he had recruited Gus for the first time, and the reason may not be that there is no such idea, and the same people in the darkness have chosen two paths for each other.
And it was because of this insecurity that Callesica would not even trust the apostolization itself, nor the hand of God that gave him apostolic status, and even if that sense of surrender burst out from his heart, he still chose to confront the eagle of light.
Therefore, for this period of time, he has always thought that his uneasiness comes from the Eagle of Light, for which he has made a lot of preparations, trying to rely on his preparations to fight against the Eagle of Light, but until this moment, he knows that his uneasiness does not come from the Eagle of Light, at least not all from the Eagle of Light, but from the man in front of him, a human ......
Outlander, this is his title, and his original name seems to be a man named Hao Qi.
Judging from the intelligence information obtained by Galicia, he has done at least two major things, the first is to defeat Zod, the top apostle called the immortal Zod, and the second thing is that he attacked the Eagle of Light, and actually hurt the Eagle of Light.
You know, this stranger is a real human being, not an apostle, not a demon of the underworld, not a magician, he is a human being, but he has overwhelming absolute power over the top apostles, he is a very incredible powerhouse, and he is the only outlier in this world.
It is impossible for Galicica not to investigate and understand his great enemy, the Eagle of Light, plus there is a very strong magician by his side, so he naturally knows what the Eagle of Light means.
Now the Eagle of Light after receiving the flesh, as the hand of the former god, he is almost an invincible existence in the material world after receiving the flesh, and the fate nodes of the whole world will involuntarily concentrate on him, he is an existence based on the law of cause and effect and fate, he is the son of fate of this world, with unparalleled strong luck, he is a god who can not be added by arrows and swords in the military array and on the battlefield, and he is a person who cannot be harmed by any existence in this world.
But the stranger hurt him, it seems that it is just a light punch, not even a serious injury, but its essential meaning is not as simple as it appears on the surface, which means that the stranger is also based on the law of cause and effect, or the stranger is not bound by the law of cause and effect, just like ordinary people encounter ghosts and ghosts, or magicians encounter ghosts and ghosts, one is completely unable to harm, and the other can resist damage, even the weakest magician can only slightly resist the weakest ghosts and ghosts, but this is the difference between zero and zero, there is a super qualitative change between there and nothing, the existence of a stranger, for the Apostles and the Hand of God, it is no less than a superstorm-like existence.
"Outlander...... Did you come to me to take off my head?" Galicia sat on his throne and looked down at the stranger who was walking from outside the palace, and before he could speak, his court guards turned a blind eye to the stranger, as if there was no one in front of him.
Hao Qi looked at Galisika on the throne, he shook his head and said: " Although from the plot point of view, it is undoubtedly the best choice to kill you directly, but there is a problem here, I don't know if the appearance of the World Tree in this life is limited by the law of cause and effect, or the result of the strong promotion of the Hand of God, it is precisely because I don't know, so I can't move blindly, such as killing you, and the Hand of God immediately selects other top apostles to create the World Tree, so my plan will not be realized, so after thinking about it, it is better not to kill you. β
"Hahahaha......" Galicia suddenly raised his head and laughed, laughing for a while, before he said loudly: "What arrogance, stranger, are you really sure that you can defeat me?
Hao Qi spread out his hands, and didn't bother to argue or explain anything, just said: "I'm here to talk to you, of course, if you choose force, then it's okay for us to start with force first, choose me to give you, what about your answer?"
Galacika was silent for a moment before he said, "I am not a stubborn lord, what do you want to talk to me when you meet me?" β
Hao Qi smiled and said, "Then how about we start exchanging information?" I know that after you became an apostle, you have always been afraid of the hand of God and even the abyss, so you have always collected their information, and I happen to know some of their intelligence information, and I also know some from the Demon Dao of the Underworld and the Witch family, why don't we exchange information, this is also beneficial to you, right?"
Galiscika was silent for a moment, then nodded and said to Hao Qi, "You are allowed to play." β
Hao Qi didn't bother to bother with this, so he said to Calisica: "I'll tell you what I know first, and see if there is any information in it that you don't know......"
Then, Hao Qi told some of the things he knew, especially from the witch and the skeleton knight, including the conjecture of the unified empire thousands of years ago, and the conjecture of the drastic changes in the world.
After a long time, Galesica suddenly said, "...... No, the apostles did not come directly from the abyss. β
Hao Qi's eyes lit up, and he immediately asked, "Oh? Otherwise, when the apostle dies, he will be directly sucked away by the abyss, and even the corpse cannot be preserved." β
Galechkia said, "Yes, the apostles are essentially connected to the abyss...... Darba, explain it to the strangers. β
Hao Qi looked at the throne of Galisica, where there was nothing, but Hao Qi's eyes were motionless, and after a few seconds, a thin old man stood out of the darkness, he bowed to Galesica first, and then looked at Hao Qi and said: "Well deserved, stranger, you seem to be able to see through illusions." β
Hao Qi shook his head and said: "No, you can see through the falsehood, but there is no point in arguing about this, back to the topic just now, what is called an apostle does not come directly from the abyss? I don't understand what this sentence means." β
The old man named Darba said directly: "Based on my experiments and speculations with the Great Emperor for so many years, we have basically confirmed that the apostles are actually only the family of the Hand of God, not the family of the abyss, and there is actually a qualitative difference between them. β
Hao Qi suddenly fell into deep thought, and only nodded after half a sound: "Well, if you say this, some things are indeed reasonable, are there any?"
Darba continued: " As far as my personal speculation is concerned, the essence of the abyss is a kind of soul, negativity, and the super condensation composed of the unknown, it is deep at the bottom of the netherworld, and it is the ultimate destination of all souls in this world, and it is essentially a natural phenomenon, but thousands of years ago, the first hand of God was born, and we still don't know the inside story and details of the birth of the first hand of God, maybe it is really as you said, it is a kind of upheaval that transforms the materialistic world into a semi-materialistic, semi-idealistic world, but since then, the abyss has become different. β
"The biggest difference is that the abyss begins to exude an unparalleled demonic energy, which will infect any existence that comes into contact with it, whether it is the aborigines of the ghost world or the creatures of the material world, as long as it is a soul existence, it will be infected by it, but compared to the existence of a stable soul, this infection will only make its spirit change, making its spirit crazy and even losing its soul, but for creatures whose souls are unstable or have no souls, this infection will make their bodies change drastically, become demonized, or apostolizedγ β
Hao Qi immediately said: "This is the origin of your ghost army, right?
Galicia and Darba are not surprised, maybe the artificial demon womb, the artificial Behelet is absolutely secret to the outside world, but for them at a higher level, whether it is the Hand of God, or this stranger who may be of the same status as the Hand of God, it is not a very secret thing, Darba nodded and said: " But this is only an instinctive infection, just like the poisonous gas in the swamp, the indiscriminate killing of inhaled creatures, which is not changed by will, and the apostles born from this are mutilated, and there is no comparison with the real apostles, especially the top apostles such as the Emperor, so we have such a guess. β
"The change of the abyss only appeared after the upheaval a thousand years ago, whether it was like the stranger you thought that the materialistic world became a semi-materialistic world, and the abyss was born at that time, or the abyss already existed, and it was only at that time that there was a mutation, in short, with the appearance of the first hand of the god, the abyss gave birth to consciousness, although this consciousness is only a pan-consciousness, but there is no doubt that the god of the abyss was born. β
"And as the direct family of the abyss, it is the hand of God, the hand of God has the same status and power as a god in the ghost world, they can control the power of the abyss to a limited extent, and the result of this control is the apostles, they throw Behlet into the material world, this is a kind of key, only the person who can activate the key can open the door, and the door it opens is the gap, a kind of space between the material world and the ghost world. β
"Where, the hand of God sends the desires and evil thoughts of those who enter into the abyss together with the deepest hopes of their hearts, and then uses the power of the abyss to completely transform them through the sacrifice of the entrants to their most beloved things, turning them into netherworld beings with physical entities, and this being is the apostles. β
But throughout the whole process, in fact, the so-called apostles have not been in direct contact with the abyss at all, and all the processes in between are actually connected by the power of the hand of God, and it is the process of the hand of God using the power of the abyss to shape the family with them as the main family, in other words, the apostles are actually only the family of the hand of God, not the family of the abyss, and the real family of the abyss is actually the hand of God. β
Hao Qi thought for a while, then nodded, and at the same time he also said: "That's why you created the artificial Behlet, right? Your plan is to stitch together a large number of apostles, rely on their connection with the abyss, break the gap between the material world and the depths of the ghost world, and then let the Emperor of Terror go directly into the abyss as an apostle, stagger the control of the abyss by the hand of God, and directly turn into the family of the abyss, right?"
Galesica and Darba looked at each other, Garesica nodded and admitted: "That's right, this is indeed my plan, the Hand of God is an existence that stands on the apex of the law of cause and effect, and although I am the superior among the apostles, there is a huge gap between me and their essence, even if I have not yet faced the Eagle of Light, but at the moment when the Eagle of Light was fleshed before, my body and mind burst out with great joy, and this joy wants me to surrender to him, but ...... How is this possible!!"
"I am the Emperor Kusha, I am the emperor of the strongest empire, how can I submit to other beings!?
Galicika's words are like thunder, and there are real traces of thunder in mid-air, it is the top apostle, and can even control the thunder to a limited extent, which is an unprecedented ability among other apostles, and even Hao Qi believes that if there is no hand of God to personally receive the flesh, he is the strongest apostle in this world.
"I see......"
Hao Qi pondered for a moment, and then said: "Then have you ever thought about it? Why since the upheaval a thousand years ago, until now, there are only five Divine Hands? Only one Divine Hand is born every two hundred years, and the Behelet obtained by the Hand of God is different from the Behelet obtained by ordinary apostles, and the Behelet of the Hand of God is even called the Overlord's Egg, have you ever thought about the possibility of this?"
Neither Galicia nor Darbar spoke, and after a long time, Darba said, "We have speculated, but none have been verified, and one of the most likely of them is ......."
"Humans who can become the Hand of God have a unique trait that can withstand the direct indoctrination of the power of the abyss, and not the power of the other layer like ordinary apostles, and this direct indoctrination ......"
Hao Qi suddenly interrupted Darba's words and said, "You don't have it, I'm afraid of the emperor......"
"You don't have the guise of a bully, do you?"
