Chapter 536 Lilith Returns (2 in 1)
boom—
The flash of lightning flashed through the thick black clouds, bringing a huge and dull roar of thunder, which continued to spread in the clouds, rolling away gradually.
The people who were startled by the thunder straightened up from their beds in horror, wiped the cold sweat on their foreheads, and groped their way up and lit the oil lamps with the light of lightning that flashed from time to time. They put their hands on the oil lamps, Lest the gust of wind blow out the flickering lights, he went to the window to close the creaking window.
Looking at the thick black clouds in the sky, everyone knew that this would be a night of violent storms.
However, after closing the window, they still couldn’t fall asleep. This **** ghost weather seemed to be foreshadowing something.
That night, many mortals had trouble sleeping, but they didn’t know that such severe stormy weather was not just over their city, but almost the entire world of Sanctuary. weather.
The strange celestial phenomenon brought a large-scale rainfall to the world of Sanctuary, and even caused the entire sea level to rise a little.
Although the three worlds of High-Order Heaven, Flame Hell and Sanctuary are not on the same spatial plane, at least there is still some correlation in them. This is why the three worlds are unified as one world. The fall of High-Order Heaven, The destruction of the Crystal Arches inevitably affected the world of Sanctuary.
The angels led by Impris were extremely proud. They had a special feeling for the magnificent high-level heaven, so even if the angels passed down the Holy Light doctrine in the Sanctuary world, they would not allow them. These mortals enter the high-level heaven, and only those wise or great people who have made outstanding contributions will receive their alms-like gifts and enter the high-level heaven to visit.
The result of this is that the mortals in the Sanctuary world can only have an impression of the high-level heaven from the records and descriptions in the books. Over time, the high-level heaven is a distant and illusory synonym for them.
As a result, this also led to the fall of the High-Order Heaven, and people in the Sanctuary world had no way of knowing…
Well, it can’t be said that it is completely unknown. Outside a small church near the Weeping Hollow on the outskirts of New Trismoot, a tall figure is coming in the torrential rain. This tall figure seems to be a Crusader soldier. , he carried a broad-bladed long sword on his back, a steel shield in his left hand, and a heavy hammer in his right hand, the hammer head exuding holy light, this Crusader soldier put the light of this holy light Like a torch, illuminating the way forward.
When he came to the front and back of the church door, and then the light of the holy light, he could see the dilapidated scene of the church clearly. The roof on the right side of the church had collapsed, and the broken eaves and walls were full of scorched and burned traces. The bright colored glass windows have long been smashed into countless pieces.
There was not even the light of candles in the church, it was pitch black.
Who would have imagined that such a church was the most popular chapel in a nearby village and town three months ago? However, in the recent conflict between High Heaven and Sanctuary, the church was smashed by angry people, who burned the church, smashed the windows, stole all the valuable things in the church, and finally here Countless **** was left in the church.
Although the priest in the church at that time repeatedly explained to these people that they believed in the Holy Light, not angels, how could the angry people distinguish these things, they beat the priest directly and drove him out of the church, the poor man The priest, I don’t know where he is still wandering now.
And now the Crusader soldier who is walking into this abandoned church, his life has not been very good recently. His clothes will be easily recognized by people, and he will be cast a blank eye wherever he goes. He didn’t dare to do anything to him, but he wouldn’t sell him food or let him stay in a hotel, so that this Crusader soldier could only go out at night and try to travel at night…
“Hey, why did it suddenly become like this?” The Crusader soldier sighed in his heart as he pushed open the tattered door of the church. With a place to shelter from the rain, he shook his body and put his body on it. After the rain had dissipated for a while, it went to the depths of the church.
In the darkness, a new hammer of holy light lit up, and a figure sat among the bricks.
“Teacher!” The Crusader soldier who had just entered the church saluted his chest and said helplessly, “Why did you choose to meet here?”
“There’s no way… Only here can I avoid the rain…” The man known as the mentor also stood up. It could be seen that he was also a Crusader soldier, but he looked older.
The organization of the Crusaders originated from the paladins of the original Zakarum religion. It is said that many years ago, a Zakarum paladin leader was keenly aware of Mephisto’s belief in the Zakarum religion. Corruption and depravity, when he realized this kind of corruption and depravity, it was already a little late, so he had to screen out some elite warriors who had not been affected by the corruption, and took them to the east, although it was an expedition in name, but Actually on a secret mission, they were to find a way to purify Mephisto from contaminating their faith.
As a result, the entire Zakarum religion fell into the clutches of Mephisto, and only this expedition survived. They inherited the teachings of the original Paladins and continued to believe in the Holy Light fanatically. , and changed the name of the organization to the Crusaders. After many years, they returned, still fighting on the front line against the demons.
The inheritance of the Crusader organization is the inheritance method of “mentor” and “apprentice”. Every qualified Crusader soldier will accept an apprentice. They regard the apprentice as their heir, and the mentor will hone the disciple into a weapon of the Holy Light. When the teacher dies unfortunately, the disciple must inherit the teacher’s weapon, shield, name, and the jihad mission that the teacher has not yet completed.
The one who appeared in the church now was such a pair of Crusader instructor and his apprentice. The one who was waiting in the church first was the instructor, and the one who came in later was the apprentice.
After seeing his mentor, the Crusader apprentice said in a very helpless tone: “Sorry, mentor, there is still no news from Tyrael… And the most troublesome thing is that recently, the Holy Spirit in my body has The light power seems to be fading…”
“It’s not just you, I am the same!” His mentor replied worriedly: “Even I contacted other Crusader soldiers, and they had the same situation. Although the power of the Holy Light did not disappear, it did attenuate. … It seems that there is a huge change in the high-level heaven!”
Hearing this, the apprentice was a little stunned and asked, “Teacher, we believe in the Holy Light, what does this have to do with high heaven?”
“Indeed, holy light is just a power! It has nothing to do with angels…” The instructor replied: “But it is undeniable that the existence of high-level heaven will increase the power of holy light in the world of Sanctuary, which may be related to the crystal arch. Relevant! Now there is no problem with our world itself, but the power of the Holy Light has declined, which may be the problem with the crystal arch.”
“In addition, some time ago, the angels frequently attacked the world of Sanctuary, and then suddenly all the angels withdrew…” The tutor pondered: “Maybe it is the reason why the high-level heaven has been invaded by demons again! ”
“Then don’t we want to support the high-level heaven as soon as possible?” The apprentice said with wide eyes: “Although it is very hateful for those arrogant angels to take action against us, but the high-level heaven can’t go wrong!”
“Why don’t we know?” The mentor sighed: “Now the entire Crusaders are scattered all over the place, looking for Tyrael’s traces. It is said that he reappeared once a while ago, and the Angel Legion who attacked Sanctuary at that time. There was a brief exchange, but then he seems to have gone to the high-level heaven again, so far there is no news, we can’t contact them at all, and the new Horadrim Church is now in chaos…”
“If it doesn’t work, you can only force your way into the high-level paradise!” The apprentice suggested: “Find a way with the people from the mage tribe. They should be able to find a way to open the portal to the high-level paradise.”
“That gang of mages? Humph!” The Crusader Instructor snorted coldly and said, “Don’t you know? When the High Heavens attacked Sanctuary, they were the happiest people. Those mages have always been I think that heaven and **** should not be allowed to interfere in the world of mortals again, they hold the same hostility to angels and demons, and it is too late for them to be happy when the angels are expelled, how can they help us enter the high heaven?”
“But the problem is, once there is a problem with the high-level heaven, the demons are very likely to attack the Sanctuary!” The apprentice said anxiously: “Even if those mages hate angels, they can’t even do this. Can’t think of it? Maybe we can convince them through this?”
“Well… this is a way!” The Crusader Instructor pondered for a while, and said: “Well, let’s try it, but don’t hold out too much hope, we still have to find a way to find Tyrael… There is also that Demon King Osiris, I suspect that this high-level heaven thing has something to do with him!”
“People from Xiansai Island found the palace of the Demon King Osiris in the depths of the mountains. He seemed to be there for a while, but now he’s gone…” The apprentice replied, “This is very disturbing…”
A mentor and an apprentice separated again after a brief exchange. They continued to inquire about news around the world, and other Crusader fighters were the same as them.
It can be said that the Crusader organization is the organization that pays the most attention to the high-level heaven. As for other mage tribes, barbarians, and witchers, they are not very concerned. As I said before, after passing through After the brief conflict between the high-level heaven and the Sanctuary, many Nephalems felt that it was better not to interfere in the mortal world, whether it was an angel or a demon!
The Crusaders roaming all over the world did not get help from the mage tribe, but in the end, they got the news from the priest of Rathma, that is, the necromancer.
The necromancers told the Crusaders that the high heaven had fallen. Osiris, the king of despair, took the army of demons, defeated the angel army and destroyed the crystal arch. Among the four archangels, the justice archangel Tyrael was imprisoned again. , The Archangel Auriel of Hope is missing, the Archangel of Destiny Yonceriel is killed in battle, and the Archangel of Courage Impris is swallowed by anger. In order not to let himself fall into an accomplice, he chooses self-destruction…
That is to say, after this battle, the high-level heaven no longer exists, and it was already two weeks ago. The demon army has already cleaned up the battlefield and retreated to the **** of flames.
Such a news was like a bolt from the blue. It shocked everyone in the entire Crusaders organization. Although they also felt that something had happened in the high-level heaven, they did not expect it to be so serious. Come on, the war is over! ?
After the shock, the members of the Crusaders quickly notified other organizations of the news. The entire Sanctuary world was shaken. The mages also temporarily abandoned their prejudices and tried to work together to open a path to high-level orders. The portal of heaven, go to the high-level heaven to view.
As a result, what they saw was only the devastated, once glorious high-level heaven, now it is dark, and the light of the Holy Light no longer shines on this land, it is a completely desolate scene.
This time, everyone is a little overwhelmed. After realizing it, they look back now and find that although angels are also hateful, they are the first target of the devil’s attack. Before the high heaven fell, they It has resisted most of the demon invasions, and the impact on Sanctuary is only one-sided.
Now that the high-level paradise is gone, and the shields are gone, doesn’t it mean that the Sanctuary will be the only place to resist the devil in the future?
Just when the leaders of various organizations held a meeting and debated what to do next, no one thought that the first to act was the necromancers of the Rasma sect.
The reason why the news of the destruction of the high-level heaven was first reported is because the head of the Rasma sect, Tagao, participated in the battle of the high-level heaven, although she failed to stop Luo Yin and was unable to save the high-level heaven. The fate of falling, but after returning, she immediately thought about what to do next.
For Tageo, her action has already provoked the Demon King Osiris. She is very worried that the demon will transfer its target to her star-soul titan, so she must have a strength that can fight against the demon.
So she thought of the Nephalems in Sanctuary. These Nephalems have powerful powers that are not inferior to angels and demons. Especially after the destruction of the World Stone, this power is still further strengthened. If They can unite against the flames of hell, and maybe they can take on the responsibilities of the original high-level heaven.
But the premise is that they can really be united… Tagao has always observed the world of mortals. She has witnessed the war between mortals for thousands of years. She still understands human nature quite well, and whether they can unite, Tageo had always had huge questions.
Tageo felt that these nephalems might need a leader, a leader who could bring them together.
In the end, while Tageo informed the Rasma Sect of the fall of the High Heavens through revelation, he found a very special necromancer in the Rasma Sect.
This person is the founder of the Rasma Sect, Mendeln!
Yes, Mendeln is still alive. As Uldyssian’s brother, Mendeln has lived until now after the original sin. He is the first generation of Nephalem, the true son of Inarius and Lilith, with far more The lifespans of other Nephalems, in the battle of Original Sin, Uldyssian sacrificed himself and expelled all the angels and demons at that time, and Mendeln, who witnessed all this with his own eyes, his memory was not sealed after the war.
In other words, he’s the only Nephalem who still remembers the original sin…
After the war, Mendeln accepted Tageo’s balanced teachings, founded the Rasma Sect, and became the first necromancer in the world of Sanctuary. He has been in seclusion and developed the Rasma Order. Looking for Meng Deen, I think his identity as the first generation of Nephalem is an identity that can unite the human beings in Sanctuary. I hope he can stand up as a leader.
However, Tageo didn’t know that after learning that the High Heaven had fallen, Mendeln’s own thoughts were different from Tageo.
Although he believes in Tageo’s teachings, he does not believe in Tageo himself. During the years of contact with Tageo, Mendeln is very clear that Tageo is only protecting himself. Now that the high-level heaven is gone, she is eager to Want to push mortals out for him to resist the prying eyes of demons!
More than that, in addition to the original Seven Demon Kings, Osiris, the King of Despair, is now in the Hell of Flames. Mendeln also realizes the power of **** today. He believes that relying on the strength of the mortals in the Sanctuary, I am afraid to stop the Hell of Flames. will be very difficult.
So, Mendeln walked out of the jungle of Kegistan and walked on the ground of Sanctuary again. Then, based on his memory from a long time ago, he found the seal and altar that Inarius had set when he expelled Lilith.
This is a dark hall with a huge magic circle engraved on the ground. Three stone pillars stand in an equilateral triangle in the magic circle. The obscure angelic language and demonic language are alternately engraved on the stone pillars.
Then, he spread rumors, claiming that there was a lot of gold and silver treasures buried here, in order to attract the robbers and gangsters in the sanctuary to come to seek treasure, he killed these robbers and gangsters, and poured their blood into them continuously in the altar.
All mortals in the world of Sanctuary have the blood of Nephalem, but because of the long time and the number of reproductions, this blood is gradually becoming thinner, but even if it is thin, it is Nephalem. The blood vessels, when these fresh blood come together, they will form a coordinate, a coordinate of the material world!
And this coordinate, to be contacted, is the mother of all Nephalems, the Queen of the Red Sea (blood) Lilith!
No one obstructed, Meng Deen’s plan went very smoothly. After collecting the last wave of blood sacrifices, Meng Deen guided the sacrifices and said the prayer himself:
“Three returns to my life…”
“By Sanjishou, the door will open…”
“Blood of the Worshipers…”
“Only please return to the Holy Spirit!”
As the prayers were chanted, the last three sacrifices who were tied upside down and tied to the stone pillars had their chests torn open, and the blood that flowed out gathered together with the blood of all the blood sacrifices and spread out. Huge triangular plane.
A phantom suddenly appeared above the plane made of blood, and the phantom slowly fell, passing through this layer of blood, and at the moment of passing through, the phantom immediately turned into a real entity, little by little. On the ground, Lilith’s figure fell from the void into the material world!
Meng Deen stretched out his hand, caught Lilith’s outstretched palm, and raised his head. He saw Lilith’s face that had just transformed from reality to reality, still somewhat transparent, but oozing blood red, and said softly:
“Our Lady of Grace… Save us!”
