What a thrilling moment it was. What a weird and bizarre scene this is.
Everyone present was shocked. Although Yamina always liked to pester Althea, the Althea in front of her still frightened her. She couldn't help but clutch Trinville's sleeve tightly, not knowing what terrible thing had happened, and hesitating whether to hide behind Mr. Trinville.
Trinville had long forgotten to comfort his little Yamina. He opened his mouth, looked at Althea, and then at Glenn. Finally, he looked at Althea again, standing aside blankly.
They couldn't believe it for a moment. They had long been accustomed to Althea's demure and gentle appearance accompanying them day and night. Whenever I see her quiet and pure smile, I can't help but feel sorry and heartbroken for her. But I didn't expect that Miss Alsia would actually speak in front of the temple elders.
Even Glenn sometimes thought that Althea couldn't speak.
They looked at Alsia crying in the elder's arms, motionless and speechless.
Elder Gretel held her in his arms, stroked her hair, and said: "I have been waiting for you for a long time. Just like Mr. Astral said - now, leave everything to us."
None of them understood the profound meaning of the elder's words. They only think about Althea, and her mystery prevents them from knowing what happened to her. And now she suddenly breaks the silence and speaks unexpectedly, what does it mean?
The elder sighed and said: "We have been worried for at least the past ten years. Until now, although nothing has happened. Fortunately, you and Grayn both arrived safely. I remember Mr. Astral said , when you can speak, it also indicates that that thing will happen soon. There is not much time left for us. Now, I'm sorry, Princess Monid, I want you to rest first. There are some things I We need to have a good talk with Mr. Glenn and the others."
Her eyes were blurry with tears, but they were not entirely sad. Her understanding eyes stared at Glenn. He said: "Alsia, listen to the elders. I will come to you soon." He was still calling her, Alsia.
Althea meekly agreed to the elder's request.
She said goodbye to her friends who had experienced life and death together. Loida hugged her, and tears could not stop flowing on the faces of the two young girls.
Their hearts are reluctant to leave. Even if they were separated for only a short time, they would start to miss her.
They watched her walk out of the hall under the guidance of the waiter. They looked back at the elder, recalling the scene that had just happened in front of them, and recalling every word the elder said. But they are getting more and more confused.
The elder looked at them and smiled: "I can understand what everyone is thinking. Because when I knew that it turned out to be like this, I was the same as you. Anyway, I am happy to solve this mystery for you. You Have you ever heard of the war between the gods in ancient times?"
They nodded, then shook their heads.
Grein said: "Actually, we don't know much. I only heard some when I was around my husband."
Trinville also said: "As for us, we only heard a few words from Glenn not long ago. Therefore, we know very little."
The elder sighed softly, but said with a smile: "Everyone who heard it thought it was a legend from a long time ago. Yes, but it is not just a legend. If you want to tell this story from beginning to end , that will be very long. If you are interested, I might as well act as a storyteller. But when I tell the story, I am afraid that everyone will listen to it insipidly. So I hope that you will not just listen to it as a story. .
Trinville couldn't hold it any longer and said, "Please tell me, Elder Gretel, we are all ready to hear your story."
"Okay. Then let me start from what you have already heard."
heaven
Bosdal was defeated by the gods led by Qilda and was imprisoned on the top of a mountain that towered into the clouds. Strictly guarded, he had no help from the angels who followed him. He was tied to the cliff with thick iron chains and was alone.
Every day, an eagle will come to the top of the mountain with a jar of water poured from the Tianhe River by the goddess Gnis and a piece of venison hunted by Vika - that is its reward for feeding the rebels in heaven. The rest left him hungry but not full. This was also Kilda's punishment for killing new lives. But Kilda initially did not want to kill him.
However, the rebellious god refused to admit his failure. He glared at every envoy who came to question him on the orders of the Supreme God. He laughed at them and even spoke harshly.
He said: "I was just defeated by Qilda. But I will never surrender to Qilda because of what I did. Didn't the so-called just Qilda also rely on his own magic power to make you Are you submissive? If I admit that everything I have done is wrong, then no one will ever make the same roar in the future towards Kilda, who also relies on violence to rule the heaven.
If I were victorious this time, would you, the loyal and reliable servants of Kilda, still treat me like this? Won't you kneel before me with the same reverence as you served him? How ridiculous, how sad. In vain, you have the halo of gods hanging over your heads, you are just poor wretches with red faces. Tell him to put away his ridiculous kindness. Leave his mercy and justice to those who lie down before him. As long as he keeps his promise, I'm willing to die. "
Kilda just sighed after hearing the words brought back by the divine envoy.
Gnis has a straightforward personality and hates evil as much as she hates it. After hearing what Bosdal said, he was extremely angry. She said: "Supreme, the rebellious god's soul cannot be saved. He does not believe that this world has such beautiful qualities as loyalty, honesty, tenacity, and kindness. He only believes in his power and cruelty. If you can't do it yet Determination, then only his followers, even those who are wandering and watching, will believe in him and the cruel and violent hearts he represents. All the gods are watching. Supreme God, it is time to make up your mind. .”
Kilda said: "Bosdal could have been my most powerful arm. And I also know that this is impossible. From the beginning, he thought that he was more powerful than me. He never recognized me ascending to heaven. throne. Although, I did not value these. However, the reason why I did not give up my position was because I was worried—worried that such a day would come.
Although, I have been tolerating him over and over again, trying to avoid this terrible situation from happening. This is where my self-blame comes from. Because, I may have known a long time ago that these are inevitable. Now, I will show him mercy again without any hesitation. If he persists, I guarantee justice will come. "
Hortilius couldn't hold it in any longer, his face flushed with excitement. He said: "Supreme Lord, please let me go to see the rebellious god. I want to look at that face and tell him that his ignorance and arrogance are destined to make him regret. Let me go, and I will definitely make him speechless. "
Although Hotilius was young, his wisdom had long been recognized by the gods, including the Supreme. They all nodded and whispered, feeling that there was no more suitable candidate than Hotilius. He will definitely convince the rebellious god.
Kilda sighed secretly. Seeing that everyone agreed, he could not object. He said: "Go, Hotilius. I know you can do it. But don't underestimate Bosdal. His intelligence is not inferior to that of all the gods. He is eloquent and good at bewitching the most beautiful people." A pure and strong heart. Although he is trapped on the cliff, we have only restrained his hands and feet, and his tongue is also his powerful weapon."
Hotilius took it to heart. He came to the cliff covered by dark clouds, dismissed his entourage, and climbed alone to the cliff where the most violent and vicious alien among the gods, Bosdal, was trapped.
He heard the fallen angel shouting at the top of his lungs. The iron chains that bound him were made by the most skilled craftsmen. Although you can walk within the confines of the iron chain, you can't escape. Even with the power of Bosdal, despite his unwillingness, he finally gave up resistance and stopped trying to break the iron chain.
Hortilius had no mercy in his heart as he looked at the trapped man who was struggling to his death. Bosdal kept shouting without stopping. He sneered: "The most powerful divine envoy, second only to the supreme Bosludar, is now like a mad beast. It's really pitiful and ridiculous."
Bosdal heard the sound, turned his head, and saw Hortilius.
He actually laughed.
"Look who's here? Isn't this the beloved son of Tierda, known as the 'wise Hortilius'?"
Gilda's love for Hortilius was never expressed in words, but she could not hide it from all the gods. They all believed that the Supreme's favor for Hotilius was not only acceptable, but even natural. Hotilius was young, handsome, and intelligent, and Tielda favored him. No one was jealous of him, and no one held a grudge.
There is only one exception. That is, Hotilius himself.
He knew that Kilda treated him like the most beloved son. This was exactly what he couldn't stand. He wants everyone to know that he has gained everyone's respect and love and his current status by virtue of his own abilities and contributions to heaven. His love for Kilda was initially glorious. Slowly, under the glory, there is also a shame.
In the end, all that's left is shame.
He came to humiliate the trapped beast, to strike him down from the depths of his being, to destroy him. But as soon as they met, he was humiliated by him. Hotilius was so angry that he forgot Tierda's advice before leaving.
He was dizzy with anger and yelled sternly: "Shut up! You traitor, the leader of the evil spirits. You have fallen into such a situation today, and you still don't regret it. You slander the Supreme Being every day, but the Supreme Being still has a little affection for you. Fantasy, I hope you can understand how evil and unforgivable what you did is. Repent, you poor betrayer."
"Smart Hotilius, are you so smart?" said the rebel in heaven. "Do you think that my cry is because I feel pity for being in this unacceptable situation that has been forced on me? You are wrong. I shouted. I wanted to let Qilda and the guys in heaven enjoy peace, and all the divine envoys who followed me hear it. Even if I was attached to the iron chain with Qilda's divine power, I suffered humiliation, but it still could not make me give up my faith.
Before you, there have been many gods like you. Just seeing me in such a state makes you feel happy? You will get the same answer from me as they did. I will not succumb to the hypocrisy of the Lord of Gods who sits on a high throne and talks about the so-called justice out of cowardice. never. "
Hortilius gradually calmed down, and he sneered: "All the gods and angels know how generous the Supreme is to you. He let you take charge of the entire ocean, and you turned it into your own paradise. Even heaven can't stop it. hinder you. You acted arbitrarily and unscrupulously, but never received even a little warning. Until you became even more crazy, teamed up with those evil gods who hated the light, and killed the new lives under the protection of the gods. Now, you have failed, but you are still stubborn. .I can already see your fate."
Bosdal also smiled: "Smart Hotilius, what you can see is what you want to see. But what I can see is what you dare not face. I can be killed by you. , but you can't make me surrender. Do you think so too? Do you think that what I have done is a betrayal of heaven. So, is everything I suffer now fair?
Ridiculous, if there really is justice, then Qilda's current position should be mine. My magic power is on par with his, or even exceeds his. I am the god who should be in charge of the entire heaven, instead of just guarding the cold and dead ocean. This is justice. Only the strong can deserve to have all this. "
Hotilius sneered again and said: "You were once a powerful god, but you never had the tolerance and kindness of the Supreme. You simply don't understand where true justice comes from under the aura of glory. The Supreme gets It’s all support and love from the heart. And what you rely on is only the fear that cruelty brings to them.”
The fallen angel smiled: "So, what about you? Smart Hotilius, do you really think that way? As far as I know, it was the competition you proposed. Is it really just for those boring and ridiculous banquets? , add a little absurd play to make them laugh? Don’t you really want to make them surrender in front of all the gods in heaven? Let everyone know who is truly worthy of the title of god You and I are the same. The only difference is that I do it more thoroughly. Because, I want to make them cry."
Hotilius's anger was again aroused. When Bosdal saw his eyes that were blood red with anger, he felt even happier.
He continued: "Unfortunately, you also miscalculated. However, your goal was also achieved, wasn't it? I also heard that the statues made by Aldol and Osram, regardless of material, care and technique, are better than The lovely Thelma did a much better job. However, Kilda, who always claimed to be fair, gave the most beautiful praise and honor to Thelma's rough and ugly statue, made of the meanest dust - It's like you got the first place. But is this fair to them? You should feel ashamed, stay at home and be an obedient child of Qilda. Instead of wanting to come here and see my end, go to laugh at me."
Hotilius was thoroughly irritated by him. However, Bosdal still ignored his anger, and still said to him in a relaxed tone, as if talking to a close friend: "But, no matter what you say, I am very happy. Compared with other gods who are more hypocritical Come, I prefer to see you now. I love you just as much as Tierda. Do you know? Because you are the only one who is most like me. Although, your face is full of respect for Tierda. , but the hidden ambition exceeds mine." He looked at Hortilius' livid face and continued,
"Only I understand you. Your respect does not come from the heart. Your life in heaven is not happy. Although you are the six great envoys, you are not satisfied. It's just that you don't have my courage. . You are not satisfied with dormant under Qilda, but you are suffering from the inability to escape. You look down on the angels who stand with you in the heaven, but you have to condescend to be with them. You, like me, are now full of hatred in your heart .
Only I know. It's time for the order advocated by Kilda to be broken. Even if I fail, I hope someone will come after me to finish it for me. That was an unprecedented and magnificent undertaking. Think about it, all things surrender under your feet, what you say and what you do is the only justice. Don't you always think in your heart that you are the most powerful one besides Qilda? Prove it to me. "
Hotilius didn't want to listen to his arrogant words anymore. He said coldly: "I will prove it to you. My loyalty and love for the Supreme are beyond doubt. I am as loyal to him as a son is to his father. I am not as you imagine. That way, you have been trying to hide this. And I also know that you will never repent. Then, you must already know what kind of fate you will get. I will truthfully tell your words to the Supreme."
Bosdal smiled and said: "I know you will. Natilius who abandoned hypocrisy is the truly smart Hotilius. Kindness does not exist in your heart. For this, I will thank you." He shouted to Hortilius's back,
"You don't need to be angry about what I just said. It's just what you really think in your heart. The seeds I sowed have already taken root in your heart. Only there is the most fertile soil for its growth. , it will grow up slowly. You can’t refuse. You can’t escape either.”
Gilda pondered, and he looked at Hortilius's face, which was pale and handsome. He sighed and said, "Is Bosdal still unwilling to repent?"
"Yes." Hotilius replied, "The betrayer has no regrets and only wants a quick death. If he can escape the trial this time, as long as he is still alive, once he gets the chance again, then he will definitely return. He will gather his followers and wage war against the gods again. Your Majesty, the betrayers must be punished in the most severe way. Bothrudar must die. Otherwise, justice is not enough."
The envoys of the gods were all excited and said: "Sovereign, you have done your best to be kind and righteous. Now, it is time to make a decision."
Qilda sat on the throne, a look of heartache flashed between her brows. He closed his eyes.
They were all thinking: "How merciful the heart of the Supreme God is! Even in the end, do you still feel a trace of guilt for the traitor who has committed many evil deeds? Didn't he bring it upon himself?"
Qilda opened her eyes and glanced majestically at the expectant eyes above the heaven. He said slowly: "Yes, I heard it, I saw it, and I tried my best. Although this is not what I want. But I also know that I can't forgive a Bosludar and let more people do it." Many lives have been trampled upon. We are not just defending ourselves, please don’t forget our commitment.”
He closed his eyes in pain and said, "Justice will always come. No matter when."
The body of the rebellious god was divided into five pieces and buried in the most majestic mountain in heaven and the deepest seabed. His head was buried on the continent of Palinkabakama. That was his last wish.
He wanted to see what kind of miserable situation those new reptile-like creatures would fall into.
