“There are indeed beings who can be both women and men, the pure ones. They have no gender and always remain neutral or possess characteristics of both genders in mythology. For them, a ‘name’ is equivalent to the ‘purpose’ for which the gods created them, so they cannot exchange ‘names’ with others.”
Hearing Tsuchimikado's words, Jōjin frowned in confusion.
"Have you forgotten, Purifying God? What is the name of this great magic?"
In an instant, Sasha opened her eyes wide.
boom!
A rumbling sound like shaking the earth and heaven was heard.
P.S.: Oh my god, the water's out again today... IG vs. G2 hasn't even started yet. Please promise me you won't hold any more tournaments, okay?
Chapter 269 The Moonlight Is Beautiful
Chapter 269
The sky, which had been dyed a rosy red by the setting sun, transformed in an instant into a star-studded night sky.
"what!"
Jingshen couldn't help but look up at the sky. Nightblade's breath froze.
dark night.
It was as if the lights had been turned off; the evening sunset had suddenly turned into pitch-black night. An ominous, enormous, white full moon hung high overhead.
That's so strange! No matter what, the moon should be a crescent moon today.
"What...what's going on?"
"Can't you see? She turned evening into night."
Kanzaki spoke casually, but Shirogane was so surprised that he was speechless.
Turn evening into night.
It's easy to say, but that means the person in front of you can freely manipulate the relative positions of the Earth and the Sun in the celestial bodies.
No, even the phases of the moon have changed, suggesting that perhaps the moon and other planets are also under her control.
Controlling celestial bodies.
Perhaps the horror of this ability is something that people cannot personally experience, but it is actually a power capable of "destroying the world".
For example, if the Earth's axis were to shift by just ten degrees, a quarter of the Earth's flora and fauna would perish. And if the Earth's rotation were to stop, the world would be destroyed in an instant.
People standing on Earth cannot perceive that the Earth is actually rotating at a terrifying speed exceeding 1669 kilometers per hour.
If the rotation suddenly stopped, like an emergency brake, the atmosphere would still be in motion, moving at the previous equatorial rotational speed of 1670 km/h. The motion of things in the polar regions would change significantly. The human body would become a 22.8 cm caliber bullet. Once exposed to strong winds, the human body would become a "supersonic tumbleweed," and the strong winds could destroy anything in its path.
The winds were incredibly fast, approaching the speed of a nuclear explosion, creating a global storm of unprecedented magnitude. The friction between the strong winds and the Earth was enough to cause massive fires and unprecedented abrasion and erosion.
During this period, the Earth's magnetic field will cease to exist, and humans will be exposed to a deadly environment of ionizing radiation.
The Earth will become a perfect sphere, with the current rotation speed causing the equatorial region to expand. The Earth's oceans will be redistributed, and many areas will be submerged by floods.
This means...
At any time, in any place, if Sasha had a single thought, the human world would come to an end.
"Wait, wait a minute! Magic can do something this terrifying?"
"Of course, humans can't do that."
Kanzaki spoke in a sharp, cold voice, as sharp as a blade.
"To strengthen its own attributes, it calls upon 'night,' and places the moon at the central position. Hmm, I see, I understand. The symbol of water, the ruler of blue, the guardian of the moon, the protector behind. In the Old Testament, it destroyed the fallen city of Gomorrah with a rain of fire, and in the New Testament, it informed the Virgin Mary of the conception of the Son of God."
At this moment, Jing Shen finally realized something.
The name of that great magic.
"Angels Fall".
Since it has this name, it naturally means that something has fallen into the mortal world.
"Your name is 'Divine Power,' the two-winged archangel who serves on the left side of God, right?"
The words spoken by the "God Splitter" received no response from the "God Servant".
It's as if an invisible shell is cracking, and an invisible skin is peeling away.
"That being" has fully awakened.
-
The setting sun turned into a full moon in an instant, and evening turned into eternal night.
It's impossible for someone so small not to notice such a commotion. They looked up at the giant disc in the sky.
"What a big moon! ...The moonlight is so beautiful, perfect for hunting hedgehogs."
Fangcun, who was following the footprints and was very close to the scene of the incident, saw Runtu under the moon while looking at the moon...
No, it should be "archangels" who represent the power of God.
Behind him, a pair of ice crystals, like outstretched wings, supported his small body in the air.
He was holding the Holy Sword of Physics high, as if he were about to unleash an EX-Curry Stick, so it seemed she had arrived just in time.
Fangcun seemed both excited and expectant, just like when he went to beat up Miss Yuriko Rinko before, and this time the audience was right in front of him.
However, Fang Cun didn't immediately step in to save the world. The main villain and the protagonist had been fighting for so long; if she appeared now and instantly killed the Boss, what would everyone else think? What would the archangel think?
This is like Thanos being killed in Avengers: Endgame, but the one who did it wasn't an Avenger, but a trainee who had been practicing for two and a half years. Nobody knows his name; all that's left is a basketball and the background music of "You're So Beautiful."
Yes, it's that frustrating.
Besides, aren't important characters always those who appear precisely at crucial moments, blossoming like flowers of hope amidst despair...?
With this plan in mind, Fang Cun dug a hole in the beach, lay down in it, and concealed his presence somewhat.
Even if we get caught, it doesn't matter, we can just make do, especially since it's already started over there.
Fang Cun saw the "Archangel's" holy sword of physics begin to release Balala energy...
-
The angel made no move.
Kanzaki stood in front of Jōjin and Yajin, reaching out to grasp the katana at his waist.
“Angels’ power is neither good nor evil. Those who save mortals according to God’s instructions will be exalted as angels. Those who fall to the defiled earth will become terrible demons.”
Kanzaki spoke in a curse-like voice: "Exactly the same as described in the Old Testament mythology. Do you really want to return to your heavenly position? 'Divine Power'!"
The Goddess of Purity stared speechlessly at Sasha… no, the angel, “God’s Power.”
Perhaps his reason for wanting to stop the "fall of the angels" was simpler than anyone else's.
"Angel Fall" is a magic spell that causes angels to fall to the human world.
An angel that has been knocked down will naturally want to return to where it originally was.
"The power of God" said nothing.
Words were no longer needed. She raised the L-shaped nail high, as if lighting a fuse for slaughter.
Jing Shen felt a chill, as if an icicle had been driven into his heart.
The moon overhead became whiter and brighter. Just like when a camera lens zooms in on the sun, a halo of light appeared around the dazzling moon.
The halo expanded outward from the full moon in an instant, finally disappearing at the horizon at the edge of the night sky. Various luminous lines appeared on the inner side of the halo, resembling complex symbols.
Magic circle.
Moreover, this magic circle is not only enormous in size. Upon closer inspection, each point of light that makes up the lines is another magic circle. Like a school of fish swimming in the ocean or a line of ants crawling on land, billions of magic circles are neatly arranged into one giant magic circle.
How could there be such a terrifying sight!
Chapter 270 This question is too difficult
Chapter 270
How could there be such a terrifying sight!
Jing Shen stared at the cluster of lights shining in the night sky, speechless.
The starlight in the night sky may appear "fragile" and "illusory," but this is actually an illusion.
The principle that things appear smaller the farther away they are—even elementary school students understand this. Even people living in Japan have probably seen Self-Defense Force or U.S. military fighter jets flying in the sky, right?
Everyone has seen the contrails created by airplanes flying in the sky, but how many people have seen the color of the flames emitted by a jet engine?
That's how it is.
The light emitted by fighter jet engines becomes invisible after a certain distance. As for artificial light visible in the stratosphere, the only remaining visible light is probably the exhaust light from rockets carrying satellites.
Even a pure spirit who knows nothing about magic can sense it.
These magic circles are extraordinary.
Jing Shen could feel that his body was trembling inside.
Looking up at the Shinra Rift in the night sky, a bead of sweat appeared on his cheek.
"Are you serious? 'Divine power'! You're planning to use magic from Old Testament mythology to kill someone? Do you want to destroy the world?"
Kanzaki's tone and words were truly astonishing.
Jing Shen hurriedly asked:
"What? Hey, what exactly is that angel planning to do?"
"That was a rocket rain that once completely wiped out a corrupt civilization. If that kind of magic were activated, human history would come to an end."
The seriousness of the matter exceeded comprehension, and Jing Shen was unable to grasp its meaning.
However, the words "fire" and "torrential rain" were deeply etched into Jing Shen's heart.
Fire rain? It'll fall down? Could it be that all those billions of points of light in the sky, no different from rockets loaded with fuel, will fall to the ground?!
Jing Shen stared stiffly at the night sky. To use the simplest analogy, imagine all those billions of points of light as rockets aimed at Earth. If all these warheads were to fall on Earth, it would far exceed the scope of carpet bombing. Even if every person in the world were given one, it would still be more than enough.
The extent of the attack range is unclear to Jing Shen. It could be a city, or it could be a country. If the entire area where the "night sky" is visible is within the range, then half the Earth would be reduced to scorched earth and ruins.
Judging from Kanzaki's expression, it seemed like her heart might stop at any moment.
"Angels shouldn't kill without God's command. Have you even forgotten that, 'God's power'? According to the New Testament, the number of souls to be judged in the 'Final Judgment' is predetermined. Randomly killing will affect the judgment; you should be well aware of that! You yourself told us this about humanity!"
These were indeed words that I had heard Tsuchimikado say before.
After the apocalypse, God will come to Earth and decide whether everyone should go to Heaven or Hell. Since this outcome is already predetermined, angels randomly killing people will cause errors in the result.
Putting aside religious beliefs, logically this is a problem of temporal contradiction.
If someone who shouldn't have died is killed, his child will not be born. Consequently, his grandchildren and all his descendants will never be born.
Angels who transcend "human history" also possess the power to change "humanity's future."
The angels did not respond at all to Kanzaki's heartbroken plea not to kill.
There was no anger, no madness, no mockery, no ridicule, no guilt.
Not moving at all.
Seeing this, Jing Shen felt a chill run down her spine. It seemed impossible to communicate with this angel's "divine power" through words anymore.
Since the "fall of the angels" incident, she may have been like a train that has derailed.
The angel before him had only one command in his mind: "Return to heaven."
She was no longer able to think about what impact this would have on the world.
She only wanted to get back to the right place.
Tsuchimikado once said that angels were created by "God" to achieve a certain purpose. According to the understanding of the god, they are equivalent to robots on the scientific side. At this moment, "returning to the original position" is equivalent to the existence of the three laws of robotics, and he will do anything for it!
He was willing to act with Jing Shen and others before, simply to determine their objective.
Under the onslaught of bombing, he couldn't determine whether a target was dead from the rubble and piles of corpses. Therefore, he had to memorize the target's face beforehand.
Jing Shen gritted his teeth and stared at the sky above.
