Meiya City.
At this moment, the city lord's palace was in a panic. Everyone was shouting and panicking.
"Oh no..."
"The lady fell into the water."
The city lord's daughter fell into the river outside the city and was not breathing when she was rescued.
Under the Suinhor city-state system, each city has a high degree of independence.
In a sense, the lord of a city is the king of a small country. His power is very powerful and is passed down from generation to generation.
The city lord's daughter is not much different from the princess.
Although the situation in Meiya City is somewhat special, there is a delicate balance between the rights of the great nobles, the divine attendants, and the farm owners; some important matters cannot be decided by the city owner at all, and in the end the divine attendants are required to perform divination to make decisions.
But the city lord is still the nominally supreme holder of power.
The beast of burden came back with a cart and stopped at the door.
When the city lord wearing a thin shirt and hat rushed over, he saw a corpse.
"my daughter."
The city lord was so distraught that he drew his sword and killed several of the princess's guards and maids.
"Cough cough cough!"
At this time, the originally breathless corpse suddenly made a coughing sound.
She spit out the water, and a strange power spread along her body, healing all the wounds on her body.
Not even a scar or a spot was left.
Reborn.
It's like a different person.
"Wake up, miss, wake up." Several escort maids on the side who had narrowly escaped death immediately shouted loudly.
"A miracle!" Everyone was also shocked.
"This is a miracle!" They had clearly seen before that the other party was no longer breathing.
"It was God who saved the lady." Groups of people were lying on the ground. There was no other explanation for this situation other than a miracle.
Everyone was stunned, but the city lord strictly ordered others not to talk nonsense.
Regardless of whether it was a true miracle or not, he instinctively felt that it would not be a good thing for his daughter if this kind of thing spread.
Especially in a place like Meiya City, which is particularly superstitious about divination and destiny.
In other places in Meiya City, a group of seemingly unrelated people were looking at this place at the same time.
There are young people, old people, and even children among them.
There are men and there are women.
They have different personalities and identities, but they are controlled and influenced by the same memory.
They are the Kamon clan.
Shana is parasitic on the race, and its personality is derived from generation to generation.
Then Kamon is a violent seizure, and the memory directly forcibly takes over the body that controls other lives.
The young man on the roof held a whistle in his hand: "Success."
In the second-floor window a few hundred meters away, a middle-aged man held up a wine glass: "The mark of spirituality, the road to reincarnation has been opened."
“She is an introduction that will open the door to spirituality to the source of life.”
An old man stopped on the street and stared in the direction of the City Lord's Mansion.
"She is the guide of spirituality, and the next step is the seed of wisdom."
"The combination of spirituality and wisdom will give birth to a perfect life."
"Last moments."
“Desire and knowledge will come and return.”
A man in leather armor was wrapped around the railing of the city lord's castle, witnessing the girl's resurrection from the dead.
His former name was Lendl, and now he has the same name as those people.
Carmon.
He once witnessed the Lost Kingdom on the Sea of Clouds, and once pushed someone from the Kingdom of Heaven into the abyss.
"Life is a miracle, and only gods know its secrets."
"The birth of life is also a door, and that door leads to myth."
The man wearing leather armor showed desire and expectation in his eyes.
“That’s a door for us, too.”
"Where this door leads to..."
"It's relief."
All the Kamon teamed up and arranged everything.
They came to a village outside Meiya City. This was an inconspicuous village, owned by a Meiya City farm owner.
However, no one in the village is truly alive.
In the entire village, dozens of people are all members of the Kamon clan.
They sat in a circle around the campfire.
It looked like a sacrifice was being held, but also like a serious meeting was taking place.
The first Carmon spoke: "This is the last time."
The second Carmon responded: "Indeed."
Carmon, who was wearing leather armor, smiled: "This is the last time."
All the Kamon raised their heads and looked at each other.
"The rest is up to Xia Na."
---------------
Shana was lying on the bed, covered with a quilt full of patches. The thin quilt was stuffed with paper, rags, and crushed plant dander.
Even a quilt like this is not available in ordinary snake families. Most snake families huddle together to keep warm, and some of the better ones sleep with their clothes on.
Fortunately, Suinhall's climate is warm, so that's not a big problem.
He had a dream.
He dreamed of the silver-winged flying dragon again. It shuttled freely among the sea of clouds, its silver wings reflecting light in the sun.
The light penetrated his eyes, making him feel dizzy.
But he still kept his eyes open and looked at the silver-winged flying dragon.
He had never heard of this kind of creature, let alone what it represented. Sometimes he even wondered if what he saw was an illusion.
He didn't know that it was the desire stone's instinctive pursuit of the power of the spiritual stone. Deep in his heart, he felt that it was his own desire.
I long to be able to become that kind of free and carefree life.
He longed for it.
A destiny that is not controlled by others.
"call!"
"snort!"
Take a deep breath and let it out.
Shana stood up.
He put the quilt into the box, put away his things one by one, and then headed outside.
This is a merchant's home.
There is a shop downstairs, but the shop is not open today.
Shana walked down from above and saw a body hanging in the hall downstairs.
Shana killed the man.
This was the seventh member of the Kamon clan he had killed who was controlled by the line.
In the pursuit year after year, he gradually understood what kind of existence Carmon was.
Kamon is not a person, but a monster that takes other people's bodies through threads.
A few years ago.
He had been very close to Carmon many times, but he passed him by again and again.
He was just a little bit away from being able to spot him.
This situation did not change until he had an item made from alchemy.
Shana didn't know how to refine magical items, so he spent a lot of money to invite an alchemist from the City of Lights.
He wants to use the glass fragments that were sacrificed to the entire Silver Fish Island to create a powerful extraordinary item.
Although Shana didn't know the origin of the glass fragment, he could feel its power.
He might never have imagined that this fragment was originally a broken part of a magical item, a corner left over from a mythical item.
In ancient times, it stood almost at the top of the prop ranking.
Position - Serial number 2.
Shana walked up to the body and stretched out his hand.
An illusory palm extended from his body, exploring and searching the area within the opponent's spiritual will.
Something between his brows was shining, and his entire body began to become slightly transparent.
"The soul-stealing hand."
He has used this ability on opponents several times.
The first time it destroyed the opponent's will, the second time it destroyed the thread hidden in the opponent's body, and the third time it read part of the information in the opponent's consciousness.
Even a dead body can randomly read parts of its memory.
He had exhausted his strength before, and now that he was well rested, he was ready to try again.
[Magical Item·Heart of Original Sin]
【Serial number 39】
[Ability 1 Ghost Form: The owner can transform into a ghost form, ignoring all physical attacks; the duration is defined according to the owner's strength. 】
[Ability 2 Soul Seizing Hand: The owner can destroy the wisdom and consciousness of others, and randomly take away other people's will, spirit, and memory; every time the Soul Seizing Hand is used, there is a certain chance of enhancing this item.]
This is an extraordinary item that is extremely unique and also has advanced capabilities.
Although it is not currently ranked too high, it has unlimited possibilities.
That's exactly what it is.
The alchemist who helped Shana refine it became greedy.
After a cliche drama of greed and fraud, the alchemist finally died at the hands of Shana.
After Shana got this prop, he finally got rid of the line's control temporarily by relying on his ghost form and experience.
Then I found those who tried to use wires to monitor and control their existence.
Kamon's line itself has no intelligence, and even the line has no ability to think at all.
As long as the body's wisdom and consciousness can be taken away, the thread and the body will fall into a vegetative state.
The power of the Heart of Original Sin has natural attribute restraints on the Kamon clan.
In this way, Shana killed many members of the Kamon clan.
But this is not enough.
He wants to kill the Kamon he most desires to kill, as well as all beings called Kamon.
He wants to destroy all the threads so that no one can control his destiny.
Xia Na withdrew the power of the soul-stealing hand, and this time he saw some interesting things from the other party's memory.
"Meiya City."
Shana cast his gaze into the distance, with an expression of excitement on his face.
"oracle!"
"That so-called god sent another oracle?"
"It's in Meiya City, right there."
"All Kamon will appear there."
All the Kamon received some kind of oracle, and they all gathered in one place in Meiya City.
The other party seems to be carrying out some plan in Meiya City, and all the Kamons have gone there.
Shana clenched his fists, and his tired eyes became extremely sharp, spewing out the flames of hatred and anger.
"I'm going to kill you all there."
"Carmon!"
Shana will catch them all there.
He picked up his suitcase, opened the door and left.
"Bang!"
The door opened and closed, people came and went outside, and the market was extremely lively.
No one noticed Shana's presence, let alone the body hanging in the hall.
---------------
Outside the village outside Meiya City.
Evening dusk.
Shana had already been waiting here. He transformed into a ghost form and was suspended at a high place, overlooking the village below.
He discovered in advance that the Kamon clan had gathered here and discovered what plan they were executing against the city.
Shana didn't know what plan the Kameng clan was executing, but he knew that no matter what they wanted to do, they would definitely return to this village in the end.
He did not take the risk to follow the other party and find out what the other party wanted to do.
Instead, they took advantage of the fact that all the opponents entered the city and made arrangements in the village.
He knew his purpose now.
His first goal is to kill these monsters, and then reveal the secret.
"If you want to deal with an existence like Carmon, you must not give them any time to react."
"This is an opportunity."
"Maybe it's the only chance."
Xia Na knew very well that he might only have this chance in his life.
He was patient because he had been waiting for twenty years.
But he was also very impatient because.
He has been waiting for twenty years.
"Xixixi!"
Many snake men who had just entered the city and completed their tasks returned together and entered the village from all directions. They twisted their snake tails and slid across the ground making noisy sounds.
They gathered in the center of the village.
They burned a fire as if praying to the gods.
But in fact they are summarizing all the information and making final arrangements and plans.
Shana was high up and couldn't hear them.
In other words, they didn't speak at all, they just looked at each other and communicated with each other.
"This is the last time."
"indeed."
"It's the last time."
They talked until the end.
All the Kamon raised their heads and looked at each other.
"The rest is up to Xia Na."
They looked into the sky, and that place was where Shana was.
At this time, the ritual circle that encompassed the entire village was fully activated, and evil light spurted out from under their feet.
The ritual array locked the source of everyone's wisdom and the divine blood of every life.
"rise!"
The light of original sin shone down from a high place, centered on Shana, and swept through every Kamon present.
Twisted shadows extended from the ground and wrapped around the Kamon clan.
In the sky.
Shana controlled his power and launched a fatal blow against them.
His face was full of ferocity, and he was trembling with excitement.
He was looking forward to this moment extremely.
"Die!"
"Death to me all!"
"You monsters, damn strings, bugs that control other people's fates."
"Everyone...die to me..."
Before Xia Na could say a word, he saw the twisted shadows below entangled in all the Camons like twists and turns.
"Bang bang bang bang!"
Shana crushed their bodies one after another, turning into balls of meat sauce and splattering around the bonfire.
And countless threads flowed out of the bodies of these Kamen clan, and then they burst apart.
Finally, it turned into a point of light and disappeared into the air.
Only the last one remains.
Shana fell from a height and stared at the last remaining body of the Kamon clan.
As long as the opponent is killed, there will no longer be any room for the Kamon clan's line.
"Do not move."
"Carmon!"
Shana's soul-stealing hand is tightly entangled with the last member of the Kamon clan. As long as Kamon wants to control him with a thread, he can kill him faster.
Knowing that the other party was extremely dangerous, Shana still left a Kamon behind.
He had been looking for each other for twenty years and finally found him.
He had too many things to say, and he had too many doubts to ask the other party.
Even now.
He still didn't understand who their gods were and what their mission was.
Who made them, and what is the meaning behind the names Shana and Carmon?
Shana looked at Kamen who was tightly bound by the twisted shadow. He had locked the opponent's brain and the source of the opponent's wisdom and consciousness.
have to say.
The Heart of Original Sin may not be the most powerful item, but its characteristics are indescribably powerful.
There were corpses and blood flowing everywhere, with flames twisting behind them.
Carmon was leaning against the earthen wall of a room, and Shana was leaning next to him.
"haven't seen you for a long time."
Carmon's lifeline was pinched, and his life and death hung on a thread.
But there was no change in him, as if he didn't care at all.
"Chasing me for so many years."
"Aren't you tired?"
Shana didn't look at Carmon, just looked directly at the flames and the blood flowing on the ground.
"Isn't this caught?"
"Of course it's not worth it if you don't succeed, but this... isn't it a success?"
When Shana said this, he said it in a voice that was almost gritting his teeth.
"Didn't I... catch you?"
He turned his head and growled out the other person's name.
"Carmon!"
There is no trace of the high-spirited spirit of his youth on Xia Na's face. There is no trace of aristocrat or scholar in him at this moment, just like a stray wild dog.
Carmon showed a smile that Shana couldn't understand.
'After so many years, why should we cling to the past? "
"You must find me?"
"Except for some critical moments, we don't really have complete control over your life."
"You can have your own life within the scope allowed by the plan."
Shana laughed, and there was sarcasm in the laughter.
"Regenerate a puppet?"
"Not only do you want to enslave me, but also my descendants?"
Kamon told Shana: "Although the Shana clan is not a real life, they can still give birth to offspring."
"The birth of the real Shana clan is not accomplished through childbirth."
"long, long ago."
"There are also Xia Na who have started their own families."
"Although……"
Carmon did not say the second half, leaving people feeling suspense.
But Shana is indeed full of yearning for that kind of life, if he does not have a mission, if the Shana family is just an ordinary family.
He should have already formed a family with another person and has a child of his own, right?
He should have lived an ordinary, but happy life, right?
But he only moved his eyes slightly, then looked at Carmon and said.
"How can I feel at ease if I don't kill you?"
"just in case."
"When did you jump out again and have another mission from God?"
"what do I do?"
"Reenact the scene on Silver Fish Island again? Once again, I will become a puppet controlled by you."
Carmon laughed and said lightly.
"Yeah too!"
"How can you feel at ease if I don't die?"
The two laughed together as if they were still friends.
But in this situation where blood is flowing everywhere and the sword is drawn and the head is raised, this kind of chatting and laughing is really ridiculing.
Halfway through laughing, Carmon suddenly turned his head and looked at Shana and said.
"Shaina!"
"The fate is not over yet, neither Shana nor Carmon will die."
"Only death can free us from our fate and achieve eternal peace."
"and."
"If I die, will you be able to control your own destiny?"
Shana asked him: "Isn't it like this?"
"You once said that you are the thread and I am the puppet."
"Now that the thread is gone, who else can control the puppet?"
Carmon laughed again, uncontrollably.
He told Shana: "Shana!"
"It's not the strings that control the puppet, it's the hands that hold the puppet."
Shana asked Carmon: "Who are those hands?"
"Who are the gods? What is our mission?"
"Why has the Shana family been called Shana for generations? What does the name Carmon mean?"
Carmon didn't answer, just said to Shana.
"God has already arranged everything, and no one can resist."
"This cycle of reincarnation and fate that lasts for hundreds of millions of years is destined to reach its end in this era."
"Our mission is accomplished."
He grinned, his smile full of madness.
"Shaina!"
"It's your turn."
Xia Na wanted to ask something else, but at this time Carmon activated the line.
Dense white lines overflowed from his body.
Xia Na directly grasped it with his hand, and the twisted shadow was tightened like a towel.
"boom!"
Blood spurted out, covering Xia Na's body.
Shana quietly faced the bonfire, letting the blood flow from his body, turning him into a bloody man.
His face was calm at first, but then the muscles on his face began to tremble.
He raised his head and banged his head against the wall behind him.
He had too many emotions that he wanted to vent, so he looked like a madman at the moment.
Finally, he exhaled a long breath.
"ha!"
Shana leaned against the wall, his whole body slumped.
He slid to the ground and stretched out his hands.
"it is finally over."
Xia Na should have been extremely relaxed, because he finally cut off the thread tied to his body.
But the last words Carmon told him made Xia Na feel extremely terrified.
“It’s not the strings that control the puppet, but the hands holding it.”
He suddenly wanted to go home and have a look.
