The Pope is dreaming......

He dreamed of a sea of ruins and blood, of bones and ghosts all over the ground, and of demons infecting the land protected by the gods, and as an old man, he was so frightened that he almost wanted to die immediately.

At that moment he saw a beam of light, a light that seemed to break through this darkness, and the Pope followed the light in his dreams, as if he had a feeling that at the end of that light something sacred was calling to him, something that he had believed in all his life, but which he did not believe in in his heart......

Walking in the light, the Pope saw the end of the light, a sacred old cross, on which stood an eagle, an eagle of light......

The Pope awoke, he was gasping violently, the crowd around him was looking at him anxiously, the inferior servants were even more anxious to fetch honey water, and some cardinals were standing next to the Pope in silence.

Yes, the Pope is very old, old as if he would die at any moment, and to put it mildly, if he dreams of any nightmare, it is common for him to die in a dream, so the cardinals are even closer, ready to listen to the Pope's last words.

The Pope smacked on the bed for a long time, and then he suddenly said, "Didn't you mention the General Mitland named the Eagle of Light, and how is he now?"

Many cardinals showed surprised expressions, and one of the cardinals said: "Your Majesty, there is indeed such a person in Midland recently, it seems that a new generation of nobles who have been promoted by military merits, we don't know exactly how. ”

The Pope and many cardinals, in fact, are fleeing at the moment.

With the large-scale attack of the Kusha army, in addition to the almost extinction of the Kingdom of Mitland, the countries around Mitland have been attacked to varying degrees, among which the Holy City of the Holy Religion close to the Kingdom of Mitland was also broken and fell not long ago, except for the high-ranking and powerful Holy Church high-ranking people who were only spared and escaped, the entire Holy City was almost destroyed, and at this moment, including the Pope, these high-ranking members of the Holy Religion are actually refugees, and they were originally planning to flee to the north and flee to those countries that have not been attacked by the Kusha army.

At this moment, when the Pope heard the cardinal's words, he immediately said: "Where are we going to the Eagle of Light, yes, the Eagle of Light......"

"I think I've been enlightened. ”

"So...... You, do you really think of yourself as a god?"

At the same time, in the depths of a jungle far away from the Pope, far away from the royal capital of Midland, a bald young man was leisurely walking forward on the forest path, and around him, in the darkness of the jungle, dense light eyes looked at him viciously, each pair of eyes did not look like a human, full of evil and terror, the number was at least thousands, and in front of the jungle, it was a cliff clearing deep in the jungle, and Grievous, dressed in white clothes, looked extremely sassy and sat on the treetop of the only small tree in the clearing.

Under Grievous, there are more than a dozen generals of different shapes, and the immortal Zod is also among them, in addition, there is a little girl who also stands under the tree, this little girl also appeared in the original book, is a person with witch qualifications, can see the nether world with the naked eye, and Grievous as part of the essence of the hand of God, she is a captive rescued by Grievous from the Kusha army, and has great faith in Grievous, and regards Grievous as the embodiment of God.

As Hao Qi walked towards Grievous step by step, the thousands of monsters hidden in the jungle were all ready to move, but unlike these monsters, the dozen or so generals were all extremely cautious, and several of them had sweat dripping from their faces.

"Outlander, what do you want to do!?" Zuo De roared, holding his huge weapon, and roared at Hao Qi.

Hao Qi smiled and said, "I'm just here to stop unfair competition, I don't mean anything else, don't make such a fuss." ”

"Unfair competition?"

This word made everyone present chant several times, although they understood every word, but they didn't understand what it meant when they were connected, especially with Hao Qi, the meaning of this irregular competition was even more weird.

Hao Qizhan stopped, he looked at Grievous with an indifferent face, and then looked at the more than ten generals and the little girl, and then said: "Actually, I am afraid of being more serious about everything, and I am here today to be more serious...... And oh, don't be impulsive, I'm here with words, then you'd better use words to communicate with me, don't force me to use my fists, then you will have to use your fists to communicate with me, I think, that kind of consequences is definitely not what you want to see. ”

At this time, the thousands of demons and monsters hiding in the jungle were about to attack Hao Qi, and at this moment, Grievous waved his hand to stop these demons and monsters, and he stood down from the treetops and said, "What do you have to say?"

Hao Qi was still smiling, he spread his hand and said: "I said, I'm just here to be more serious, lest some people coax the world for thousands of years, and finally even believe their own lies, so it's not interesting, so today I'm going to compare the truth." ”

"Let's say it first, don't use lies to me, I have a bad temper, you lie to me, I'll reply to you with a fist, it's a big deal to flip the table, I will kill all the living apostles, including you and I will kill them directly, I will kill all the foreshadowing you left behind, I will kill you once you receive meat, it's a big deal I won't play with you in this game, you see if I can do it." ”

Grievous didn't have any words or movements, the dozen or so generals were already furious, the first was not Zuo De, but a man wearing a pointed hat and holding a strange longbow, but the moment Hao Qi's words fell, several arrows with a terrifying wind howl, not like arrows, but like a wind-breaking sniper bullet, had already shot in front of Hao Qi's door.

Then everyone saw it clearly, yes, all of them saw it very clearly, Hao Qi raised his hand slowly, stretched out his hand, held the arrow, reversed the direction of the arrow, and then flicked his fingers lightly on the tail end of the arrow, and the next moment, the general wearing a pointed hat and holding a strange longbow The whole person has been shot by the arrow, it is really shot, even the flesh and clothes are directly shot into blood mist, and the arrow shot past Grievous's face, shooting the small tree behind him, and then flying into the air I don't know how far away, until the naked eye can no longer see。

It was quiet, extremely quiet, everything around was silent, as if even the breathing sound of all the beings present had stopped, only Hao Qi made a sound after a few seconds: "I'm serious." ”

"What do you want?" asked Grievous, his voice echoing with a very peculiar magnetism that would make the average person feel like they were teary-eyed even if they heard it.

Hao Qi listened carefully to Grievous's voice, which had a peculiar tone similar to hypnosis, but different from hypnosis, no wonder in the original book, just seeing him, just hearing his voice, was enough to make some nobles in Midland directly recognize him as the master, and really thought it was a personality charm? From beginning to end, it was just a lie.

"First question, are human beings created by God?" Hao Qi asked.

There may be many other worlds, those worlds Hao Qi doesn't know, but this world Hao Qi confirmed that human beings did evolve from apes, he used his spiritual power to continuously analyze the blood genes of hundreds of people, and also analyzed monkeys in the wild, and the exact answer he got is that the humans in this world did evolve from apes, there are cells, genes, everything also has molecules and atoms and other basic structures, not as described in his previous life, such as building the world on the basis of runes, or building the world on the basis of energy, or building the world on the basis of idealism, etc., this world is still the original material world。

Since it is the primordial material world, it is not impossible to say that there is a creation god, but it is absolutely impossible to be the existence of the hands of the five gods or the abyss behind them, in a word, the force is too low, to become a creation god of the universe, even if it is not a creation god of the multiverse, its lowest force must at least be an emperor-level existence, and even Hao Qi thinks that the emperor-level existence cannot be stopped.

This is by no means a level that can be reached by the abyss of this world and the hand of God!

Grievous didn't know what Hao Qi had done, maybe it knew, but at this time it still maintained that pretending to be forced and said, "The flesh is not created by God, and the spirit belongs to God." ”

Pretty answer...... Hao Qi secretly cheered in his heart, but there is no doubt that this answer is actually opportunistic, because Hao Qi's question is that human beings are created by God?

And it can also be seen from the original book that the soul of human beings will return to the abyss after death, and I don't know if there will be another place to go, but the abyss is definitely one of the places to go, and then think of the connection between the hands of the five gods and the abyss, it is not too much to say that the spirit belongs to God, Grievous did not lie, but just changed the rhetoric, a cunning statement.

Hao Qi didn't continue to force the question, he continued to ask: "Since human beings are not created by God, the so-called gods are just lying on human beings like parasites to absorb souls...... So what good is such a god for mankind? Since they are all bad, should we not want such a god?"

As soon as these words came out, all the apostles present immediately turned into monsters in an instant, and they pounced on Hao Qi without stopping, Hao Qi keenly found that there was no look in the eyes of these apostles, as if the moment he said this, they turned into real monsters, and only the desire to destroy remained.

In the same way, Grievous also drew his bayonet sword, and his eyes had turned into chaos, which was a projection of the abyss of this world, and Hao Qi immediately understood its meaning after just one glance.

And that's not all, vaguely, Hao Qi felt the gaze of the other four lines of sight, and those four lines of sight appeared with a sense of threat that could threaten him, and when these four lines of sight appeared, Hao Qi even felt a sense of detachment from this large area, just like ...... It seems to be about to turn into an immaterial dream, and the most terrible of nightmares.

"So...... Do you want to die?"

Just when the nearest apostle was less than a meter away from Hao Qi, Hao Qi suddenly closed his eyes and opened them again, and then in an instant, a vast aura like the sky burst out from him, this aura from turbulent to vast, from vast to endless, almost completely covered everything here, and then, everything around seemed to be still, including but not limited to all the apostles, monster soldiers, and Grievous present.

Hao Qi didn't attack anyone present, he walked past the apostles, even past Grievous, and he said as he walked: "Are you angry? Or do I happen to tell the truth? ”

"Don't use the influence of the Holy Religion to declare that the city is a god enemy or the king of Midland is a blasphemous place, etc., since this is a high-end combat power, then let us high-end people face it, don't involve ordinary people, ordinary people's wars will be handed over to ordinary people to fight, we must not interfere, including you, your apostles, and those ghost soldiers under the apostles, this is one of them. ”

"Second, I think you feel me too, right? It may not have been so clear before, but now I have made it clear enough for you, to put it simply, my essence is much higher than yours, much higher than your abyss, and as you feel, my power is sealed by a higher, ineffable being, so this is an opportunity that you cannot find in a lifetime, or even in eternity, come, defeat me, take my essence, this can make you transcendent...... Not the detachment that you think you have, but the detachment of a higher level, and you can verify the truth of what I am saying at this moment from every aspect. ”

"Third, I will prepare a stage for you, the royal capital of Midland, a decisive battle, I, you, Kusha the Great, the decisive battle of our three parties, the decisive battle that will determine the fate of this world, you will win, not only can you win my essence, but also let this world enter the desperate situation of the world of idealism, you will gain 'transcendence'! But if I win, then I will step into the essence of the abyss, I will see your deepest secrets, perceive the deepest secrets of this world, this is not actually an equivalent exchange, my value is far more than the sum of your values infinitely times, but this is your home field, but also your plan, I decided this war by your home field and plan, and the value in the middle can be erased in disguise, I allowed it. ”

"In the end, as the victors, you naturally gain everything, but I have no interest in you, the five of you, so if I win, if I can't kill you, I hope that you will not be able to interfere in the mortal world in any way for a hundred years, and let this world develop naturally, if your Holy Religion continues, then you will also continue, if your Holy Religion is abandoned by the times, then you will also be abandoned by the times, how about it?"

It was only at this time that the breath on Hao Qi's body was violently withdrawn, and almost all the creatures present, except for Grievous, and the witch qualification girl beside him, and Hao Qi, including all the apostles and those demons and monsters, all fell to the ground softly, and Hao Qi stood in front of Grievous.

Hao Qi continued: "You can choose, this decisive battle I designed is here, if you choose to use public opinion, or use external tactics, such as forcing Emperor Kusha to become a world tree or something, then I will immediately lift the table, kill all the apostles in you and the current world, as well as all the monsters or humans related to you, and then find any way to come to the spiritual world or the netherworld where you are, you can try to see if I can do it." ”

Grievous didn't speak, but looked at Hao Qi with those eyes that seemed to be abyssal projections, and Hao Qi suddenly said: "That's basically it, you can decide for yourself." ”

As he spoke, Hao Qi looked at the little girl beside Grievous again, this little girl was looking at Hao Qi with a frightened gaze, because she had made it clear in the original book that she was a person with witch qualifications, and she could see things that ordinary people could not see with the naked eye, including the Eagle of Light, including the abyss, and Hao Qi who released a little essence, just now, she saw a certain "essence" that was far beyond the abyss, and even beyond the entire world and the entire universe At that moment, she felt like an ant under the cosmic astral body, and the slightest movement would cause her whole person and entire spirit to shatter.

This is an essential being that is higher than majestic, more vast than immense, higher than greatness, no, something higher than this, even to the point where it cannot be described in words, even the most extreme of thought cannot describe one-ten-thousandth of it, that is...... Transcendence of everything, transcendence of everything......

If you have to describe it, the little girl thinks that Hao Qi's essence is more worthy of the title of god than the abyss and the eagle of light!!

Hao Qi said: "I am a human being, a true human being, not the gods you worship, what the gods can do, we humans can also do, what the gods can't do, we humans can still do it, maybe not now, but as long as we work hard, we can do it one day, we human beings ...... You can surpass the gods!!"

"I don't know what your childhood experience was, and I don't know how moved and joyful you were when the Eagle of Light came to you on behalf of the Divine, but I want to ask you here, is the world you want to be the kind of world where everything is controlled by the gods?

"Man does not need to work hard, because there is God in everything, and man does not need to grieve, because there is God in everything, and man does not need to explore, because there is God in everything, and man does not need to think, because there is God in everything, and man only needs to bow down to the ground all the time, become the Lamb of God, and become a puppet of God...... Is this the kind of world you want?"

"You don't need to answer me, you can find the answer you hope for in your heart, is it a world where the gods have everything, and humans become the toys of the gods, or whether human beings rely on their own efforts, sacrifices, and correct their mistakes, and the generation is more enlightened, civilized, and powerful than the previous generation, if you have the answer, I am in the royal capital at any time, and you can come at any time. ”

Then Hao Qi finally looked at Grievous again, his eyes had returned to the eyes of a human, he looked at Grievous and said: "You are also a person with the qualifications of an overlord, or you used to be, although you became the hand of God, I don't know if you are still yourself, or is it a toy of the abyss......?

"Challenge me as a human, gods. ”
